#### Scanner for fork-triggerable CI coding agents with repo write access

grackle is a static scanner that detects fork-triggerable AI coding agents
with repository write access in GitHub Actions and GitLab CI workflows.

When an AI coding agent runs on untrusted fork input in a job that can write
to the repository and nothing checks who triggered it, prompt injection
becomes remote code execution and repository takeover under the CI token.
grackle finds that exact composition statically, before it merges. It proves
fork reachability, author and merge gates, and write capability, and reports
only the compositions that are actually exploitable.

Findings carry a severity, a confidence, the offending workflow block, a
dynamic secure-fix write-up, and control-framework references (CWE, OWASP,
MITRE ATT&CK and ATLAS, NIST, CIS). Outputs SARIF, GitLab SAST, CycloneDX
SBOM, JUnit, JSON, HTML, Markdown, YAML, CSV, and XML.

Releases are Sigstore-signed with SLSA Build Level 3 provenance.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install Grackle

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

### Install Grackle

To install Grackle, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install grackle
```
