- Affected commit SHA or release tag.
- Your suggested CVE category and severity, if applicable.
scripts/entrypoint.sh,scripts/healthcheck.shDockerfiledocker-compose.yml.claude/hooks/*.sh(where they enforce trust boundaries)- The token-exchange flow against the GitHub API
- The socket-proxy configuration
- Issues that require root on the Docker host (the operator already has equivalent capability).
- Vulnerabilities in the upstream
ghcr.io/actions/actions-runnerbase image — report those at https://github.com/actions/runner. - Vulnerabilities in
tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy— report those at https://github.com/Tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy. - Denial of service via legitimate workflow misuse (CI budget exhaustion,
fork bombs) —
RUNNER_PIDS_LIMITandRUNNER_MEM_LIMITare the defensive tuning surface. - Malicious workflows running on the runners. This system explicitly
treats workflow code as trusted (the only person who can push a
workflow has merge rights). See
docs/SECURITY.md"Threat model".
- Acknowledgment within 72 hours.
- Initial assessment within 7 days.
- Coordinated disclosure on a timeline negotiated with the reporter, typically within 90 days of the initial report. Sooner if the issue is being actively exploited.
