Microsoft Threat Intelligence discovered a prompt injection vulnerability in the Claude Code GitHub Action that could expose workflow secrets under certain conditions. The research details the attack mechanism, Anthropic’s response, and best practices for securing AI-assisted CI/CD pipelines. This demonstrates emerging security risks as AI agents are integrated into development automation.
