Security audit

GitHub Safe Sync

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed GitHub mirror-maintenance helper that can change repository state when explicitly run with a GitHub token.

Install this only if you want Codex to help manage safe-sync GitHub mirror repositories. Use a fine-grained GitHub token limited to the target repositories, run status before write actions, and review carefully before dispatching workflows, closing issues, or deleting backup branches.

Finding
The skill instructs use of a sensitive environment variable (`GITHUB_TOKEN`) and performs networked operations against GitHub, but it does not declare permissions/capabilities explicitly. This creates a real security governance gap: agents or users may invoke a skill with broader access than intended, making token misuse, unintended repository writes, issue closure, branch deletion, or workflow dispatch harder to constrain and audit.
