Automation turns small security mistakes into large, fast incidents. We audit triggers, permissions, and data integrity so workflows can’t be hijacked into doing the attacker’s job.
Triggers, inputs, and event validation
Permission boundaries and execution context
Data flow integrity across steps
Secrets handling and least privilege
Logging, audit trails, and forensics readiness
Abuse resistance (DoS, spam, cost amplification)
triggers → actions → side effects
permissions, secrets, and isolation
manipulate inputs and observe outcomes
gating, approvals, and safe defaults
risks framed as “automation at scale” incidents
Privilege escalation paths and trigger abuse proofs
Data leakage and integrity findings with evidence
Fix direction focused on controls and isolation
Retest confirmation
Frequently Asked Questions
We verify that workflow triggers are properly authenticated, permissions follow least-privilege principles, secrets are securely stored, and workflows cannot be chained to escalate privileges. Automation systems are high-risk targets because a single compromised workflow can impact multiple systems.
Yes—we evaluate API authentication, rate limiting, input validation, and permission scopes. Automation systems often rely on over-privileged service accounts, which we identify and flag.
Yes—we test whether webhooks properly validate sender identity, are protected against replay attacks, and ensure payloads cannot inject malicious commands or trigger unintended actions.
We chain together low-privilege actions to simulate real-world attack scenarios. For example, combining file read, write, and execution permissions can lead to arbitrary code execution if not properly restricted.
Yes—we assess build artifact integrity, secret management, dependency security, and whether attackers can inject malicious code into the deployment pipeline. CI/CD systems are a critical part of the software supply chain.
Simple workflows: 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-system automation: 2–3 weeks.
The report includes identified privilege escalation paths, webhook vulnerabilities, secret exposure risks, CI/CD injection points, and detailed remediation guidance.
