`zizmor` is a static analysis tool for CI/CD systems.

It can find and fix security issues in common CI/CD setups, including GitHub Actions,
Dependabot, and pre-commit. Some of the things `zizmor` finds:

* Template injection vulnerabilities, leading to attacker-controlled code execution
* Accidental credential persistence and leakage
* Excessive permission scopes and credential grants to runners
* Impostor commits and confusable `git` references
* ...[and much more]!

[and much more]: https://docs.zizmor.sh/audits/
