10 Major GitHub Risk Vectors Hidden in Plain Sight

This analysis from OX Security outlines ten overlooked supply-chain attack vectors where GitHub-hosted code can infiltrate environments across the SDLC—dependency pulls, container builds, Kubernetes/Helm, IaC (Terraform), CI/CD workflows, submodules, plugins, hooks, and webhooks—backed by empirical counts of repository references and real-world examples; it recommends inventorying references, standardizing on pinned immutable refs, implementing integrity verification, and building secure internal alternatives to reduce the large-scale risk.
