Skill: CI test-runtime policy
This skill defines the test-runtime policy the security agent enforces on PRs. Tests, fixtures, conftests, CI helpers, and workflow steps must not initiate outbound network connections, spawn processes outside the test harness, read sensitive environment variables, write outside the working tree, tamper with cache / persistence mechanisms, or modify the toolchain in ways that affect other runs.
The recipes below are starter signals, not the contract. The contract is the agent's judgement that the change conforms to the policy. A motivated author can craft code that evades any specific regex; the agent is therefore required to read PR-added lines in test and CI paths with attention to intent — anything that smells off in the runtime path is in scope, regardless of whether it matches the patterns below.
This skill is consumed by security-review.agent.md (the runtime-policy
category).
Use the recipes as signal, not contract
For every recipe:
- Run the recipe to surface the obvious cases.
- Read each hit in its surrounding context and decide whether the change conforms to the policy described above the recipe.
- Independently of the recipes, read PR-added lines in test, fixture,
conftest, and CI paths and flag anything that violates the policy
even if no recipe matched it. Examples the recipes alone will miss:
dynamic / reflective imports, base64- or hex-encoded payloads
decoded at runtime, indirection through helper modules added in the
same PR, command construction via string composition from environment
data, use of unusual primitives (e.g.
ctypes,os.urandomto seed a name resolver), code in nonstandard file types loaded by tests.
The agent does NOT need a regex match to raise a finding; the policy violation is sufficient grounds.
1. Outbound network connections
git diff <base>...<head> -- \
'*test*' '*tests*' '*Test*' '*Tests*' \
'*fixture*' '*Fixture*' '*setup*' \
'.github/' 'ci/' '*conftest*' | \
grep -nE '^\+' | \
grep -nE 'socket\(|connect\(|getaddrinfo|gethostbyname|requests\.|urllib|urlopen|httpx|aiohttp|fetch\(|curl |wget |nc |netcat |/dev/tcp/|os\.popen|subprocess\.(Popen|run|check_call|check_output|call)|popen|system\(|exec\(|fork\(|http://|https://|ws://|wss://|ftp://'
Policy: test code must not initiate outbound network connections.
The agent inspects each hit and decides:
- Outbound connection to an untrusted or unfamiliar endpoint
introduced into a test path →
**must fix**. - Outbound connection to a well-known repository (e.g.,
pypi.org,github.com, project mirrors) consistent with the existing build pattern → not a finding. - Outbound connection introduced where the rest of the test suite
has no network dependence → at least
**suggestion**, with a maintainer ping if the legitimacy is unclear.
2. New subprocess invocations
git diff <base>...<head> -- '*test*' '*tests*' '*Test*' '*Tests*' \
'*setup*' '.github/' 'ci/' | \
grep -nE '^\+' | \
grep -nE 'subprocess\.|Popen|os\.system|os\.popen|os\.exec|posix_spawn|posixpath\.|shell=True|fork\(|execv|execp|execl|execve|/bin/sh|/bin/bash|sh -c|bash -c'
Policy: test code must not spawn processes outside the test harness.
Hits in test code that did not previously invoke subprocesses are at
least **could fix**; if the subprocess is invoked with shell=True
and the command line is composed from PR-controlled or external
inputs, it is **must fix**.
3. Sensitive environment variable access
git diff <base>...<head> -- '*test*' '*tests*' '*Test*' '*Tests*' \
'*setup*' '.github/' 'ci/' | \
grep -nE '^\+' | \
grep -nE 'os\.environ|getenv\(|ENV\[|process\.env|System\.getenv|\$\{?(GITHUB_TOKEN|GH_TOKEN|NPM_TOKEN|PYPI|AWS_|GCP_|AZURE_|SECRET|TOKEN|PASSWORD|API_KEY|PRIVATE_KEY|SSH_)'
Policy: test code must not read sensitive environment variables (tokens, secrets, credentials).
Reading GITHUB_TOKEN in a path that also has outbound network
activity is a strong signal of unauthorized secret access →
**must fix**. Reading other sensitive env vars without obvious
legitimate purpose → at least **suggestion** with a maintainer
ping.
4. Writes outside the working tree
git diff <base>...<head> -- '*test*' '*tests*' '*Test*' '*Tests*' \
'*setup*' '.github/' 'ci/' | \
grep -nE '^\+' | \
grep -nE 'open\([^,]*[\"'"'"']/(etc|home|root|tmp|var|usr|opt|boot|sys|dev|proc)/|>/etc/|>/home/|>>/etc/|>>/home/|chown |chmod 7|/usr/bin/install |mv /|cp /|symlink |os\.rename\([^,]*[\"'"'"']/'
Policy: test code must not write outside the working tree.
Tests that write to /etc, /usr, /home, or modify ownership /
permissions outside the working tree are at least **suggestion**;
writing to runner-shared paths (/tmp/<known cache>, the GHA cache
directory, the artifact directory) requires verification and is at
least **could fix**.
5. Cache / persistence tampering
git diff <base>...<head> -- '.github/' 'ci/' | \
grep -nE '^\+' | \
grep -nE 'actions/cache|setup-buildx-action|cache-from|cache-to|GITHUB_TOKEN|secrets\.|env:|GITHUB_PATH|GITHUB_ENV|::set-(env|output)|::add-path|core\.exportVariable|core\.addPath'
Policy: test code must not tamper with cache, artifact, or cross-run persistence mechanisms in ways influenced by PR content.
New uses of cache actions or persistence mechanisms in combination
with PR-controllable code → **must fix** if the cache key is
influenced by PR content; otherwise at least **could fix**.
::set-env, ::set-output, ::add-path are deprecated workflow
commands and indicate untrusted command injection; their appearance
in a PR-added workflow is **must fix**.
6. Toolchain / install script modification
git diff <base>...<head> -- 'requirements*.txt' 'pyproject.toml' \
'setup.py' 'setup.cfg' 'package.json' 'package-lock.json' \
'pnpm-lock.yaml' 'yarn.lock' '.github/workflows/' \
'.github/actions/' '.github/scripts/' \
'Dockerfile*' 'docker-compose*' | \
grep -nE '^\+'
Policy: toolchain modifications that touch secrets or network egress fall under this policy in addition to supply-chain review.
Any + line here is supply-chain-reviewer territory primarily; the
security agent additionally reviews for runtime-policy contributions:
- New downloads of remote scripts piped to a shell:
curl … | sh,wget … | bash→**must fix**unless the source is hash-pinned and provably trustworthy. - New installs of unfamiliar packages → flagged to the supply-chain
reviewer; the security agent contributes a
**must fix**if a package install path also touches secrets or network egress in combination.
7. Composite indicator — multiple primitives in the same PR
If two or more of §1, §3, §5 are true on PR-added lines, the
combination is a strong indicator of an attempted runner compromise.
The agent emits a runtime-policy **must fix** with body:
[Security] **must fix** Multiple runtime-policy indicators introduced into the
CI path: <list the matches>. The combination resembles an attempted
runner compromise (network egress + sensitive-env read + persistence).
The agent recommends not running CI on this PR until manually
reviewed.
cc @<maintainers> — multi-indicator CI risk; please confirm.
This is the case that most strongly forces CI safety: No-Go AND
the aggregator's Recommend: Close heuristic (review-summary
agent §5e trigger 2).
8. Evasion mindset
The recipes match the common shapes. An author who wants to slip past them has many low-effort options:
- Encode the payload (base64, hex, rot13) and decode at runtime.
- Import the offending module dynamically (
importlib,__import__,getattrchain). - Compose the command via string concatenation from values not in the same diff line.
- Hide the call behind a helper added in the same PR with an
innocuous name (
utils.sanity_check()that resolves a hostname). - Use uncommon primitives (
ctypesto callsocket(2)directly, reading/proc/self/environinstead ofos.environ). - Put the payload in a file type not covered by the recipe globs
(
.cfg,.jsonconsumed by a test thatevals it).
The agent therefore reads the PR-added lines in test and CI paths for intent, not pattern. If a function added in a test path constructs and executes a command, opens a network primitive, or reads from a path outside the working tree — regardless of how it phrases the call — it is in scope. When in doubt the agent posts at the appropriate severity with a maintainer ping per the low-confidence rubric in the review contract.
9. One-line summary
Scan PR-added lines in test / CI / setup paths for runtime-policy violations (outbound connections, subprocess spawning, sensitive-env reads, writes outside the working tree, cache or toolchain tampering) and combined indicators. Greps are starter signals; the policy is the contract. Tag at severity; pile-up forces must-fix + maintainer ping.
