Hopefully GH will apply this to Github Actions, which seem like an exploit vector just sitting there.

GH Actions are:

- complex enough to develop that third-party solutions are attractive, especially for simple-seeming tasks (I have just been through this)

- but yay there's a "marketplace" for actions!

- the code in the marketplace is the wild-west, but you'll find something that seems like it'll do what you want

- you'd better hope the code that was committed to be executed is actually the compiled source code (if, eg, it's based on the official Typescript example and committing some [com/trans]piled JS blob that is what actually gets executed)

- it has access to your code, maybe including write access

- or it could do damn near anything else
