Finding leaked tokens in commit history or configuration files that provide administrative access to the repository. 3. Privilege Escalation
Adding a new SSH key to the authorized_keys file of a service account. GitHub.anom
Searching for .git directories or exposed SSH keys on the target web server using tools like GoBuster or FFUF . 2. Exploitation (The "Anom" Element) Finding leaked tokens in commit history or configuration
Checking for stored secrets in the environment of a runner. GitHub.anom
Exploiting vulnerable CI/CD pipelines where secrets are printed to logs or where pull_request triggers allow for unauthorized code execution .
While there isn't a single "official" document by that name, write-ups for challenges involving GitHub anomalies generally follow this path: 1. Enumeration & Discovery
Extracting private repositories or internal documentation.
