VNX-GH-011 – Secrets context exposed in bulk

Overview

Secrets are only sent to a runner when referenced. toJSON(secrets) or a dynamic index forces every secret the workflow can see onto the runner, so a single compromised step can read all of them, and log masking is weaker for structured values.

Severity: High | Confidence: high | CWE: CWE-200, CWE-532 | Command: vulnetix gha workflows

Remediation

Reference each secret by name, only in the step that needs it.
