GitHub Actions official documentation pull_request pull_request_target workflow file from base merge commit security

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The primary security difference between the pull_request and pull_request_target events in GitHub Actions lies in the context from which the workflow code and repository secrets are accessed, which fundamentally alters the attack surface when dealing with untrusted pull requests [1][2]. pull_request The pull_request event triggers workflows using the code from the pull request&#39;s merge commit [1]. Because this commit can contain untrusted code from a fork, GitHub enforces strict security boundaries: - The workflow has read-only access to the GITHUB_TOKEN [1][3]. - Access to repository or organization secrets is withheld [1][3]. - This isolation prevents a malicious pull request author from executing code with elevated privileges, a pattern often referred to as a pwn request [4][3]. pull_request_target The pull_request_target event was designed to allow workflows to perform operations that require elevated privileges—such as posting comments, applying labels, or running authenticated checks—on pull requests from forks [1][2]. - Execution Context: The workflow file and any default actions/checkout call (without an explicit ref) are taken from the base repository&#39;s default branch, ensuring that only trusted, existing code is executed [1][5]. - Privileges: Because the workflow runs from a trusted source, it is granted a read/write GITHUB_TOKEN and access to repository/organization secrets [1][6]. - Security Risk: While the workflow itself is trusted, it becomes vulnerable if it explicitly checks out and executes untrusted code from the pull request head [4][2]. This is why the event is a high-value target for attackers [7][8]. Recent Security Enhancements GitHub has implemented significant protections to mitigate risks associated with pull_request_target: - Checkout Protections: As of June 2026, the actions/checkout action (v7+) by default refuses to fetch fork pull request code in pull_request_target workflows to prevent accidental execution of untrusted code [4]. To bypass this, a developer must explicitly set allow-unsafe-pr-checkout: true, a deliberate action intended to be easily caught during security reviews [1][4]. - Workflow Integrity: As of November 2025, the workflow file for these events is always taken from the default branch, and GITHUB_REF/GITHUB_SHA resolve to the default branch, preventing the exploitation of outdated or insecure workflows that might exist on other branches [9]. In summary, use pull_request by default. Only use pull_request_target if you strictly require access to secrets or write permissions, and ensure the workflow never executes untrusted code from the pull request head [1][2][8].

<title>Securely using pull_request_target</title> https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/security/securely-using-pull_request_target This guide helps you assess whether your workflow should use the `pull_request_target` event and understand the security risks involved. It also explains the protection GitHub applies to `actions/checkout` to reduce these risks by default, and when to opt out of that protection if necessary. ... Workflows triggered by `pull_request_target` run with elevated trust: the job receives the base repository&`#39`;s `GITHUB_TOKEN` and access to repository and organization secrets. This is the same trust given to events like `push` that only collaborators can trigger, and it is what makes `pull_request_target` useful for automation that responds to pull requests from forks, such as labeling, triage, or for posting authenticated status checks. ... The `pull_request` event (along with `pull_request_review` and `pull_request_review_comment`) is unusual: it runs the workflow file from the merge commit of the pull request. For a pull request opened from a fork, that commit is controlled by someone without write access to the base repository. To run untrusted workflow code safely, GitHub restricts these events to a read-only `GITHUB_TOKEN`, withholds access to other secrets, and applies fork approval policies to prevent compute abuse. For more information, see Events that trigger workflows. By default, `actions/checkout` in a `pull_request` workflow also checks out the pull request&`#39`;s merge commit, so the code checked out and the workflow that runs are consistent. ... `pull_request_target` makes one critical and subtle change: the workflow, and any subsequent `actions/checkout` call that does not specify a `ref`, is taken from the base repository&`#39`;s default branch, not from the pull request. Because only trusted code from the default branch runs, it is safe to grant secrets and a read/write token. No code from the fork is executed by default. ... You introduce risk when a workflow author overrides this default to run the fork&`#39`;s code. Developers frequently choose `pull_request_target` because they want to run a fork&`#39`;s pull request through CI and have access to secrets, for example to run tests that need a private registry. To do this, they point `actions/checkout` at the pull request head instead of the default branch, which is insecure: ... The checkout step alone does not execute untrusted code. The workflow file itself still comes from the default branch. The vulnerability is completed by the next step that runs code checked out into the current working directory. Here, `make test` executes a `Makefile` taken from the pull request head. An attacker only needs to open a pull request from a fork whose `Makefile` (or build script, test command, dependency, or configuration file) contains malicious commands. Those commands then run with the base repository&`#39`;s secrets and token. ... - Checking out a pull request&`#39`;s head or merge commit in `actions/checkout` (`ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}`, `ref: refs/pull/${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}/merge`) and then building, testing, or otherwise executing the result. - Setting `repository:` to the fork (`repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}`) to pull the fork&`#39`;s branch directly. ... - Fetching the pull request code outside of ... with `git ... gh pr checkout ... and then running ... checks out or downloads and ... an `issue_ ... _run` ... _run` ... rusted data, since ... created in the first place ... a private artifact registry or ... the `allow-unsafe ... in `actions/checkout ... - Can you use `pull_request` instead? `pull_request` triggers on the same events as `pull_request_target` and runs the workflow code from the `pull_request` merge branch. It does this safely on pull requests from forks with the protections detailed above. If additional secret access is not needed, use `pull_request`. More complex workflows can be restructured to separate potentially dangerous handling of pull request code from accessing secre…[truncated] <title>What is the difference between pull_request and pull_request_target event in GitHubActions</title> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74957218/what-is-the-difference-between-pull-request-and-pull-request-target-event-in-git I found this explanation in the GitHubActions Docs: ... This event (pull_request_target) runs in the context of the base of the pull request, rather than in the context of the merge commit, as the pull_request event does. ... When Github first launched Actions in 2018, this was not the case (or at least, it wasn&`#39`;t intended to be) - in Actions terminology, the pull_request event and its variants were the only events that triggered on a PR being opened from a fork, and these events were made to not have access to repo secrets, including having access to a GITHUB_TOKEN value that is read-only. ... However, sometime later, in August 2020, the pull_request_target event was added. ... This event is given repo secrets and a full read/write GITHUB_TOKEN to boot, however there is a catch - this action only runs in the pull request&`#39`;s target branch, and not the pull request&`#39`;s branch itself. ... In order to protect public repositories for malicious users we run all pull request workflows raised from repository forks with a read-only token and no access to secrets. ... This makes common workflows like labeling or commenting on pull requests very ... In order to solve this, we’ve added a new pull_request_target event, which behaves in an almost identical way to the pull_request event with the same set of filters and payload. ... However, instead of running against the workflow and code from the merge commit, the event runs against the workflow and code from the base of the pull request. ... This means the workflow is running from a trusted source and is given access to a read/write token as well as secrets enabling the maintainer to safely comment on or label a pull request. ... The pull_request_target event grants workflows triggered by pull requests from forks access to repository secrets and a read/write GITHUB_TOKEN. That is inherently risky if the workflow inadvertently exposes these secrets or allows for unauthorized modifications to the repository. ... Another risk: the workflow attempts to check out and execute code from the pull request. Since this event runs in the context of the target branch with access to secrets, executing code from the PR without strict controls can expose secrets to untrusted code. ... So it is best to: ... only use pull_request_target for workflows where access to secrets or write permissions is strictly necessary, such as commenting, labeling, or status updates on pull requests. ... have mechanisms in place to review or sandbox the code before execution if you must use pull_request_target and need to interact with the code from the pull request: only run certain actions after manual approval via pull request reviews. ... implement conditional logic within your workflows to make sure steps requiring secrets or write permissions are only executed under safe conditions. ... explicitly specify the commit or branch you trust instead of checking out the PR&`#39`;s head commit blindly, when your workflow requires checking out code. ... The important part for this question is the first link in that chain: a workflow using pull_request_target checked out and executed fork-controlled pull request code. That is exactly the pattern GitHub warns about: running untrusted code under pull_request_target can lead to cache poisoning and unintended access to write privileges or secrets, as noted in the GitHub documentation for pull_request_target and in GitHub Security Lab&`#39`;s article on preventing pwn requests (Aug. 2021). ... So the safe rule is: use pull_request_target only for trusted metadata operations on the pull request, like labeling, commenting, or adding reviews. Do not combine it with checking out and building/running the pull request head. ... If the workflow needs to test untrusted PR code, use pull_request with minimal permissions. And if privileged follow-up work is needed, split it into a separate trusted workflow, for example using the artifact/result handoff pattern described by Git…[truncated] <title>Keeping your GitHub Actions and workflows secure Part 1: Preventing pwn requests | GitHub Security Lab</title> https://securitylab.github.com/resources/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/ GitHub workflows can be triggered through a wide variety of repository events. This includes events related to incoming pull requests (PR). There exists a potentially dangerous misuse of the`pull_request_target` workflow trigger that may lead to malicious PR authors (i.e. attackers) being able to obtain repository write permissions or stealing repository secrets. ... TL;DR: Combining`pull_request_target` workflow trigger with an explicit checkout of an untrusted PR is a dangerous practice that may lead to repository compromise. ... Due to the dangers inherent to automatic processing of PRs from forks, GitHub’s standard`pull_request` workflow trigger by default prevents write permissions and secrets access to the target repository. However, in some scenarios such access is needed to properly process the PR. To this end the`pull_request_target` workflow trigger was introduced. ... Like how the introduction ... Resource Sharing (CORS) in ... 1. Workflows triggered via`pull_request_target` have write permission to the target repository. They also have access to target repository secrets. The same is true for workflows triggered on`pull_request` from a branch in the same repository, but not from external forks. The reasoning behind the latter is that it is safe to share the repository secrets if the user creating the PR has write permission to the target repository already. ... 2. `pull_request_target` runs in the context of the target repository of the PR, rather than in the merge commit. This means the standard checkout action uses the target repository to prevent accidental usage of the user supplied code. ... to label PR ... e.g ... The intent is to ... building or running ... Together with the`pull_request_target`, a new trigger`workflow_run` was introduced to enable scenarios that require building the untrusted code and also need write permissions to update the PR with e.g. code coverage results or other test results. To do this in a secure manner, the untrusted code must be handled via the`pull_request` trigger so that it is isolated in an unprivileged environment. The workflow processing the PR should then store any results like code coverage or failed/passed tests in artifacts and exit. The following workflow then starts on`workflow_run` where it is granted write permission to the target repository and access to repository secrets, so that it can download the artifacts and make any necessary modifications to the repository or interact with third party services that require repository secrets (e.g. API tokens). ... As you can see, the usage of two workflows and passing around workflow artifacts introduces some overhead. If your workflow scenario simply requires commenting on the PR, but does not require a check out of the modified code, using`pull_request_target` is a logical shortcut. ... Unfortunately some repository workflows take this a step further and use`pull_request_target` with an explicit PR checkout, for example: ... on: pull_request_target jobs: build: name: Build and test runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 with: ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} - uses: actions/setup-node@v1 - run: | npm install npm build - uses: completely/fakeaction@v2 with: arg1: ${{ secrets.supersecret }} - uses: fakerepo/comment-on-pr@v1 with: message: | Thank you! ... Having said that, mixing`pull_request_target` with an explicit PR checkout is not always vulnerable. The workflow may, for example: ... - Reformat and commit the code - Checkout both base and head repositories and generate a diff - Run grep on the checked out source. ... Generally speaking, when the PR contents are treated as passive data, i.e. not in a position of influence over the build/testing process, it is safe. But the repository owners must be extra careful not to trigger any script that may operate on PR controlled contents like in the case of`npm install`. ...

Enforcement for backported versions of actions/checkout has been moved from July 16, 2026 to Monday, July 20, 2026. We also clarified the scope of the backport. V1 of actions/checkout will not receive this change. The security update will be backported to all other supported versions of actions/checkout. The `pull_request_target` event is one of the most commonly misused triggers in GitHub Actions, leading to vulnerabilities in workflows. Workflows triggered by `pull_request_target` run with the base repository’s `GITHUB_TOKEN`, secrets, and default-branch cache access. Checking out the head of an unreviewed pull request from a fork inside one of these workflows typically lets attacker-controlled code execute with the workflow’s full privileges. This pattern is known as a “pwn request,” and it has been the root cause of multiple supply-chain incidents across the ecosystem. For more information, see our blog posts about helping to prevent these requests. Starting today, `actions/checkout` v7 is generally available and refuses common pwn request patterns by default. On July 16, 2026, we’ll backport the enforcement to all currently supported major versions. Workflows pinned to a floating major tag (e.g., `actions/checkout@v4`) will automatically pick up the change. Workflows pinned to a specific SHA, minor, or patch version aren’t affected by the backport and will need to upgrade using Dependabot or through established upgrade processes. Same-repository pull requests aren’t affected, and the `pull_request` event is unchanged. ### What’s changing `actions/checkout` v7 refuses to fetch fork pull request code in `pull_request_target` and `workflow_run` workflows (the latter only when `workflow_run.event` is a `pull_request*` event). It refuses when the pull request is from a fork and any of the following apply: - `repository:` resolves to the fork pull request’s repository. - `ref:` matches `refs/pull/number/head` or `refs/pull/number/merge`. - `ref:` resolves to a fork pull request’s head or merge commit SHA. This change is focused on preventing the most common form of pwn requests in the Actions ecosystem. `actions/checkout` will now fail for usage in `pull_request_target` events from forks with insecure inputs such as: - `ref: refs/pull/${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}/merge` - `ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}` - `repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}` ### What’s not changing or covered Pwn requests can be introduced in other ways outside of the scope of this change. For example, a `run` block uses `git` or the `gh` CLI to pull a HEAD ref or other untrusted source that is subsequently executed. Additionally, pwn requests triggered in other event types besides `pull_request_target` (such as `issue_comment`) will not be blocked by this change. Further hardening of additional events may be explored in future releases. This change only blocks checkouts of the fork pull request head and merge commits. It does not block checkouts of other untrusted repositories. For example, setting `repository:` to an unrelated third-party repository is not blocked. Checking out and executing any untrusted code in a privileged event remains a pwn request risk that should be reviewed. ### Opting out of this protection Some workflows need to check out fork pull request code with elevated trust, and this is why `pull_request_target` was created in the first place. For example, generating coverage reports that require a private artifact registry or producing and running authenticated checks against the changes introduced from the pull request. We’re keeping an opt-out available so these workflows can continue to function, but you sh... <title>Securely using pull_request_target</title> https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/actions/reference/security/securely-using-pull_request_target This guide helps you assess whether your workflow should use the `pull_request_target` event and understand the security risks involved.

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
If a GitHub Actions workflow is set as a required status check but is skipped due to path filtering, branch filtering, or a commit message (e.g., [skip ci]), the associated status check will remain in a "Pending" state [1][2][3]. Because this check never completes, it will block the pull request from being merged if your repository settings require that specific check to pass [1][4][5]. To resolve this issue, you should avoid requiring workflows that can be skipped by filters or commit messages [2][6][7]. If a workflow is required for pull request status, it must be triggered and complete successfully for every relevant pull request [7]. As a best practice, if certain workflows must be run only on specific file changes, they should not be included in the list of required status checks for pull requests that might not trigger them [2][7]. For further details on managing required status checks, see the official GitHub documentation on troubleshooting required status checks [2][6].

Use these checks when a required status check blocks merging or pushing to a protected branch. See Status checks. - A required status check must have completed successfully in the chosen repository during the past seven days. - If a check and a commit status have the same name, both must pass when that name is required. See REST API endpoints for checks. - If branch protection requires your branch to be up-to-date, merge or rebase the base branch into your branch. See About protected branches and About Git rebase. If required status checks have not passed, pushing to a protected branch returns an error similar to this. ```shell remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/main. remote: error: Required status check "ci-build" is failing ``` > [!NOTE] > Pull requests that are up-to-date and pass required status checks can be merged locally and pushed to the protected branch.

See Using jobs in a workflow. | ### Example This workflow requires a successful `build` job, but runs only when a pull request changes files in `scripts`. ```yaml name: ci on: pull_request: paths: - &`#39`;scripts/**&`#39`; jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest strategy: matrix: node-version: [12.x, 14.x, 16.x] steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v6 - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }} uses: actions/setup-node@v7 with: node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }} cache: &`#39`;npm&`#39`; - run: npm ci - run: npm run build --if-present - run: npm test ``` A pull request that only changes a file in the repository root will not trigger this workflow. If `build` is required, the pull request is blocked with "Waiting for status to be reported." ### Status checks with GitHub Actions and a Merge queue If a merge queue requires a GitHub Actions check, trigger the workflow with the `merge_group` event. > [!NOTE] > If your repository uses GitHub Actions to perform required checks on pull requests in your repository, you need to update the workflows to include the `merge_group` event as an additional trigger. Otherwise, status checks will not be triggered when you add a pull request to a merge queue. The merge will fail as the required status check will not be reported. The `merge_group` event is separate from the `pull_request` and `push` events. Example trigger configuration: ```yaml on: pull_request: merge_group: ``` See Ev…[truncated] <title>skipping-workflow-runs</title> https://docs.github.com/actions/managing-workflow-runs/skipping-workflow-runs # Skipping workflow runs You can skip workflow runs triggered by the push and pull_request events by including a command in your commit message. > \[!NOTE] > If a workflow is skipped due to [path filtering](/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-syntax#onpushpull_requestpull_request_targetpathspaths-ignore), [branch filtering](/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-syntax#onpull_requestpull_request_targetbranchesbranches-ignore) or a commit message (see below), then checks associated with that workflow will remain in a "Pending" state.

Workflows that would otherwise be triggered using `on: push` or `on: pull_request` won&`#39`;t be triggered if you add any of the following strings to the commit message in a push, or the HEAD commit of a pull request: * `[skip ci]` * `[ci skip]` * `[no ci]` * `[skip actions]` * `[actions skip]` Alternatively, you can add a `skip-checks` trailer to your commit message. The trailers section should be included at the end of your commit message and be preceded by two empty lines. If you already have other trailers in your commit message, `skip-checks` should be last. You can use either of the following: * `skip-checks:true` * `skip-checks: true` By default, Git automatically removes consecutive newlines. To leave the commit message exactly as you entered it, use the `--cleanup=verbatim` option on your commit. For more information, see [`--cleanup= `](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt---cleanupltmodegt) in the Git documentation. You won&`#39`;t be able to merge the pull request if your repository is configured to require specific checks to pass first. To allow the pull request to be merged you can push a new commit to the pull request without the skip instruction in the commit message. > \[!NOTE] > Skip instructions only apply to the `push` and `pull_request` events.

<search_synthesis>
For the GitHub Actions pull_request event, the default activity types are opened, synchronize, and reopened [1][2]. This means that if no specific activity types are configured in your workflow, it will automatically trigger when a pull request is created, updated (i.e., new commits are pushed to the head branch), or reopened [1]. To customize which activities trigger your workflow, you can use the types keyword under the pull_request event [1][3]. For example: on: pull_request: types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, closed] Regarding the paths filter, it is a separate configuration that allows you to restrict workflow execution to cases where at least one file changed in the pull request matches a specified path or pattern [3]. The paths filter works in conjunction with the event trigger, not as an activity type. If you use paths (or paths-ignore), the workflow will only run if the files modified in the pull request match your defined filters [3]. Example of using both: on: pull_request: types: [opened, synchronize] paths: - &#39;src/&#39; In this example, the workflow will only run when a pull request is opened or synchronized, and only if changes were made within the &#39;src&#39; directory [3].

For general information about deployment protection rules, see Deploying with GitHub Actions. ## Creating a custom deployment protection rule with GitHub Apps 1. Create a GitHub App. For more information, see Registering a GitHub App. Configure the GitHub App as follows. Optionally, in the Callback URL text field under "Identifying and authorizing users," enter the callback URL. For more information, see About the user authorization callback URL. Under "Permissions," select Repository permissions. To the right of "Actions," click the drop down menu and select Access: Read-only. To the right of "Deployments," click the drop down menu and select Access: Read and write. Under "Subscribe to events," select Deployment protection rule. 2. Install the custom deployment protection rule in your repositories and enable it for use. For more information, see Configuring custom deployment protection rules. ## Approving or rejecting deployments Once a workflow reaches a job that references an environment that has the custom deployment protection rule enabled, GitHub sends a `POST` request to a URL you configure containing the `deployment_protection_rule` payload. You can write your deployment protection rule to automatically send REST API requests that approve or reject the deployment based on the `deployment_protection_rule` payload. Configure your REST API requests as follows. Custom deployment protection rules are not compatible when a workflow job&`#39`;s environment is set to `deployment: false`. For more information, see Deploying with GitHub Actions. 1. Validate the incoming `POST` request. For more information, see Validating webhook deliveries. 2. Use a JSON Web Token to authenticate as a GitHub App. For more information, see Authenticating as a GitHub App. 3. Using the installation ID from the `deployment_protection_rule` webhook payload, generate an install token. For more information, see About authentication with a GitHub App. curl --request POST \ --url "https://api.github.com/app/installations/INSTALLATION_ID/ACCESS_TOKENS" \ --header "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer {jwt}" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data \ &`#39`;{ \ "repository_ids": [321], \ "permissions": { \ "deployments": "write" \ } \ }&`#39`; 4. Optionally, to add a status report without taking any other action to GitHub, send a `POST` request to `/repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs/RUN_ID/deployment_protection_rule`. In the request body, omit the `state`. For more information, see REST API endpoints for workflow runs. You can post a status report on the same deployment up to 10 times. Status reports support Markdown formatting and can be up to 1024 characters long. 5. To approve or reject a request, send a `POST` request to `/repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs/RUN_ID/deployment_protection_rule`. In the request body, set the `state` property to either `approved` or `rejected`. For more information, see REST API endpoints for workflow runs. 6. Optionally, request the status of an approval for a workflow run by sending a `GET` request to `/repos/OWNER/REPOSITORY_ID/actions/runs/RUN_ID/approvals`. For more information, see REST API endpoints for workflow runs. 7. Optionally, review the deployment on GitHub. For more information, see Reviewing deployments. ## Publishing custom deployment protection rules in the GitHub Marketplace You can publish your GitHub App to the GitHub Marketplace to allow developers to discover suitable protection rules and install it across their GitHub repositories. Or you can browse existing custom deployment protection…[truncated]
