Preambula:
Mercedes-Benz Source Code at Risk: GitHub Token Mishap Sparks Major Security Concerns
The story:
It all started during one of our internet scans where we identified a GitHub Token leaked by a Full Time Employee at Mercedez, in his GitHub Repository. The GitHub Token gave ‘unrestricted’ and ‘unmonitored’ access to the entire source code hosted at the Internal GitHub Enterprise Server. Redhunt Says.
Conclusion:
The essence of the story is this: even in large companies, failures happen, always be careful, scan tokens in workflow actions...

/ Prevent credential exposure with OIDC for GitHub Actions
Many different CI/CD patterns that cause us to raise our eyebrows. One situation in particular that we encounter relatively often is the unsafe use of AWS credentials.
OpenID Connect is an authentication standard, which when coupled with GitHub Actions, offers a more secure alternative for authentication when compared to utilizing traditional access keys..:

/ Info Stealing Packages Hidden in PyPI
The identified packages—nigpal, figflix, telerer, seGMM, fbdebug, sGMM, myGens, NewGends, and TestLibs111—exhibit attack methodologies similar to those outlined in a Checkmarx blog post published four months ago...
The packages released before December 2023 are very similar to those discussed in earlier blog posts. Specifically, they deploy Whitesnake PE malware if the victim’s device runs on Windows, or they can deliver a Python script designed to steal information from Linux devices..:
