--- type: Whitepaper title: "LGTM: Bypassing an LLM Build Gate When Prompt Injection Fails" description: OpenSearch guards pull_request_target CI with a step that curls the PR diff into a Claude prompt, failing the build at medium severity or above. The gate sees about three lines of context, cannot open implementation files kept in another repository, and never sees the author. Base64-wrapped payloads were blocked in 24 of 25 runs, and the diff arrives as user text with no system-prompt boundary, so both evasions are re-rollable coin flips. resource: "https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2034/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20-%20Aviv%20Donenfeld%20-%20LGTM%20Bypassing%20an%20LLM%20Build%20Gate%20When%20Prompt%20Injection%20Fails.pdf" tags: [whitepaper, webseclist-reference, llm, prompt-injection, ci-cd, github-actions, supply-chain, filter-bypass, rce, owasp-a03-2021, owasp-a05-2021, owasp-a06-2021, owasp-a08-2021] generated: by: webseclist-refs/1 at: "2026-08-09T04:06:57+00:00" status: stable stale_after: 2027-08-09 sources: - id: original resource: "https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2034/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20-%20Aviv%20Donenfeld%20-%20LGTM%20Bypassing%20an%20LLM%20Build%20Gate%20When%20Prompt%20Injection%20Fails.pdf" title: "LGTM: Bypassing an LLM Build Gate When Prompt Injection Fails" author: Aviv Donenfeld also_at: [] authors: - Aviv Donenfeld canonical_url: "" cited_by: - "2026-ai.md:132" commit: "" content_sha256: c5fa8e2e40f6937ec28efe205ee16f746f60071510f564b4b9a724f16e431d54 depth: full depth_reason: default kind: whitepaper language: "" licence: unknown original_url: "https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2034/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20-%20Aviv%20Donenfeld%20-%20LGTM%20Bypassing%20an%20LLM%20Build%20Gate%20When%20Prompt%20Injection%20Fails.pdf" published: "" publisher: "" publisher_english: "" raw_sha256: 70b368f08058cbd0ea405d9df4808552c10b643f6cea8f4272f48cd86a427a2c retrieved_from: "https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2034/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20-%20Aviv%20Donenfeld%20-%20LGTM%20Bypassing%20an%20LLM%20Build%20Gate%20When%20Prompt%20Injection%20Fails%20-%20LGMT%20v2.pdf" retrieved_kind: manual-import retrieved_utc: "2026-08-09T04:06:57+00:00" slug: lgtm-bypassing-llm-build-gate-when-prompt-injection-fails snapshot: "" title_english: "" translation_file: "" translation_of: "" --- # LGTM: Bypassing an LLM Build Gate When Prompt Injection Fails **LGTM: Bypassing an LLM Build Gate When Prompt Injection Fails** - Aviv Donenfeld, Publisher not stated. - Published: date not stated - Original: - Preserved from: https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2034/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2034%20-%20Aviv%20Donenfeld%20-%20LGTM%20Bypassing%20an%20LLM%20Build%20Gate%20When%20Prompt%20Injection%20Fails%20-%20LGMT%20v2.pdf (manual-import) on 2026-08-09 - Licence: unknown Rights remain with the original author and publisher.

Because `pull_request_target` runs in the base repository's security context, an attacker could craft a PR that causes the workflow to access or exfiltrate repository secrets. ### The Fix **Commit `7d831e3`** maintainer authored on Feb 4 · ✓ 4 / 7 · Verified ```text Review Pull Request commit diff with LLMs before triggering gradle checks (#20504) * Review Pull Request commit diff with LLMs before triggering gradle checks ``` ## Page 14 `> and it worked` Wiz: > High-value targets including Sentry, OpenSearch, IPFS, NixOS, Jina AI, and recharts all successfully blocked the attack through a combination of first-time contributor approval gates, actor-restricted workflows, and path-based trigger conditions. The campaign demonstrates that while `pull_request_target` vulnerabilities remain exploitable at scale, modern CI/CD security practices, particularly contributor approval requirements, are effective at protecting high-profile repositories. ## Page 15 Everywhere else: AI assists # Here: AI is the **only** thing guarding the door ## Page 16 `> the mechanism` ```text Attacker GitHub Actions THE GATE: Code-Diff-Analyzer Opens a PR with → pull_request_target → Reviews PR code diff. malicious build code. on any fork PR.
