Offensive CICD Secrets
Comprehensive secrets extraction methodology targeting CI/CD environments across all major platforms. Covers environment variable extraction from build contexts, exploitation of vault and secrets-manager misconfigurations (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager), runner and agent token abuse for lateral movement, OIDC federation attacks exploiting trust relationships between CI/CD providers and cloud platforms, build log leakage analysis for inadvertently exposed credentials, cache poisoning techniques for credential exfiltration, platform-specific credential store exploitation (GitHub Actions secrets, GitLab CI variables, Jenkins credential providers), service connection and service account abuse in Azure DevOps and GCP, and Docker registry credential theft from build environments. Maps to MITRE ATT&CK T1552 (Unsecured Credentials) and its sub-techniques. Each section provides enumeration procedures, extraction techniques, and post-exploitation pivoting guidance for using recovered secrets to expand access.

From the source SKILL.md
Secrets in CI/CD environments are the primary objective for pipeline compromise. Every pipeline holds credentials -- deployment keys, cloud provider tokens, API secrets, registry passwords, database connection strings -- and the mechanisms protecting them are consistently weaker than those guarding production secrets. You exploit the fundamental tension in CI/CD design: pipelines need credentials to deploy, but the environments executing pipelines are transient, shared, and often accessible to anyone who can open a pull request.
What this skill does
Offensive CICD Secrets is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/offensive-cicd-secrets/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Offensive CICD Secrets Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Offensive CICD Secrets skill?
Use Offensive CICD Secrets when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Offensive CICD Secrets" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Offensive CICD Secrets skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Offensive CICD Secrets is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
