VNX-GH-104 – Action repository archived, missing or hijackable

Overview

An archived action gets no security fixes. A deleted repository, or an owner that was renamed or removed, lets anyone register the old name and publish code under it (repo-jacking); unpinned references then run it.

Severity: High | Confidence: high | CWE: CWE-1104, CWE-494 | Command: vulnetix gha actions

Needs: action refs. Without them the rule is reported as not evaluated.

Mappings: T1195.001

Remediation

Replace the action with a maintained alternative, or vendor it into this repository as a local action.
