GitHub has launched a vital security enforcement after five years of documentation. The actions/checkout action now blocks untrusted code from fork pull requests by default in privileged contexts. This change automatically applies to all major versions, enhancing CI/CD security. Despite this, teams must audit other workflows for vulnerabilities. The enforcement responds to recent attack patterns, promoting a safer coding environment.
