Description

@varunsh-coder

Workflow runs in this repository executed a compromised version of aquasecurity/trivy-action that made outbound connections to a malicious domain (scan.aquasecurtiy.org).

Since these workflows use StepSecurity Harden-Runner, we were able to detect the malicious outbound connection and are reaching out to inform you.

Affected workflow runs:

What happened:

On March 19, 2026, aquasecurity/trivy-action was compromised with a credential stealer that reads GitHub Actions Runner worker memory to extract secrets and exfiltrates them to an attacker-controlled domain. For full details, see: https://www.stepsecurity.io/blog/trivy-compromised-a-second-time---malicious-v0-69-4-release

Recommended actions:

  1. Review the affected workflow runs to determine what secrets and credentials were accessible
  2. Rotate all secrets and tokens that the workflow had access to (GitHub tokens, cloud credentials, Docker registry tokens, etc.)
