Find risky GitHub Actions before they merge

Install the GitHub App, choose a repository, and action pin creates your workspace from GitHub while it scans for SHA pinning gaps, overbroad token permissions, pull_request_target risk, and other workflow security issues.

No separate signup step. GitHub installation creates your action pin account and starts the first repository sync.

SHA Pinning

Built For GitHub-Native Teams

Use action pin anywhere GitHub Actions touches production.

action pin is designed for teams that rely on GitHub Actions for CI, deploys, releases, and repository automation but do not want a heavyweight security platform just to harden workflow YAML.

action pin focuses on the narrow job that matters: find risky GitHub Actions patterns, explain the issue clearly, and open safe pull requests your team can review and merge.

Best Fit

Small engineering teams using GitHub Actions for CI, releases, deploys, or repo automation.

action pin is built for teams that need safer workflows, reviewable fixes, and clear guardrails without staffing a full AppSec function.

What you can enforce

Pin third-party actions to full SHAs when the fix is deterministic.
Tighten overbroad GITHUB_TOKEN permissions and add explicit defaults.
Review risky pull_request_target, secret exposure, and privileged job patterns.
Block unsafe workflow changes before they merge through GitHub-native checks.

What action pin checks

High-signal GitHub Actions security checks your team will actually review.

We focus on workflow risks that are easy to miss in YAML review and expensive to ignore in production.

How It Works

Start from GitHub installation, not another signup form.

01

Install the GitHub App

Choose the repositories you want to protect. action pin uses the GitHub install to create or sign in to your workspace automatically.

Install GitHub App
02

Scan workflow YAML

action pin analyzes workflow files for SHA pinning, token permissions, risky triggers, secret exposure patterns, and other high-signal issues.

03

Review fixes and block regressions

Open deterministic fix PRs for safe changes and fail pull requests that introduce blocked workflow patterns.

Why Teams Adopt action pin

Focused workflow security that engineers will actually use.

Built for small teams

action pin is for teams that need safer GitHub Actions workflows without standing up a full DevSecOps program or buying a broad enterprise platform first.

Fix-oriented by design

The goal is not another passive dashboard. The goal is to explain the issue, open safe pull requests, and help teams merge workflow hardening changes quickly.

GitHub-native rollout

Install one GitHub App, review findings in context, and keep guardrails inside pull requests where engineers already work.

Pricing

Install first, then upgrade when private repos need guardrails.

Start by installing the GitHub App on a public repository. Your account is created from GitHub, your first scan starts, and paid plans unlock private-repo scanning, PR guardrails, and reviewable remediation as your team grows.

FAQs

action pin scans workflow YAML for high-signal GitHub Actions risks such as unpinned third-party actions, overbroad GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, risky pull_request_target usage, unsafe shell interpolation, secret exposure patterns, and other workflow hardening issues.

Install once, then harden every workflow that matters.

Start by installing the GitHub App on one repository. action pin creates your workspace from GitHub, runs the first scan, and lets you expand into private repos, PR guardrails, and reviewable fixes when you are ready.
