# distributed-workloads: pull request workflow can leak repository secrets to attackers

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-83493 (this .md is for agents)

A workflow in the distributed-workloads project runs untrusted code from pull requests with the base repository's secrets. An attacker who submits a crafted pull request could steal the Snyk token and the default write token, gaining access to the Snyk integration and possible control of the repository.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Look for a `pull_request_target` trigger in the `.github/workflows` files of the distributed-workloads repository.
- Check whether that workflow checks out or runs code from the pull request head while secrets such as `SNYK_TOKEN` are available.

## From the sources

A flaw was found in distributed-workloads. A remote attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the pull_request_target workflow by submitting a specially crafted pull request. This workflow processes untrusted code from the pull request author while operating with the base repository's sensitive secrets, such as the SNYK_TOKEN, and its default write token. Consequently, an attacker could exfiltrate these secrets, leading to unauthorized access to the Snyk integration and potential control over the repository.
