Aikido Security recently uncovered a new class of CI/CD vulnerabilities they call **PromptPwnd**. The gist of the issue is simple: steps in the CI/CD workflows (e.g. GitHub Actions and GitLab pipelines) are increasingly using AI agents like Gemini CLI, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to triage issues, label pull requests or generate summaries. These workflows sometimes embed untrusted user content—issue titles, PR descriptions or commit messages—directly into the prompts fed to the model. In this blog I will explore the core of the issue and some potential solutions.
