Vulnerabilities in Claude Code and Gemini CLI Allow Unauthorized Access to CI Secrets via GitHub Issues
Two critical vulnerabilities in Claude Code and Gemini CLI allowed unauthorized access to CI workflow secrets through crafted GitHub issues, enabling command injection and data exfiltration. Patches were released, but one flaw in OpenAI's Codex remains unaddressed with no available fix.
A GitHub issue opened by an account with no repository privileges was enough to execute code on the CI runners behind Anthropic's and Google's own coding-agent repositories. On OpenAI's, it was enough to hijack the next agent run.
Novee Security ran the attack against each vendor's agent in the configuration that the vendor ships by default, and presented the work at Black Hat USA on August 5.
