CLIStatic security analysis for CI/CD config: finds template injection, credential leaks, excessive permissions and more in GitHub Actions workflows, also covers Dependabot and pre-commit configs, and auto-fixes some findings.
🌈 zizmor
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
gitreferences - ...and much more!

See zizmor's documentation
for installation steps, as well as a quickstart and
detailed usage recipes.
