Hacked by a branch name, ouch!

• Blog posts are my own thoughts and opinions

Whatever you do, do not attend any reasonably decent security course like the <a href='https:/tryhackme.com'>TryHackMe</a> folk run. You will not sleep for a week afterwards. Makes you read everything. For example,

I just saw some best practice guidance notes from Github showing an example of how even the branch name of a pull request can PWN your system

...if you tried to be clever and write some code to check the branch name.
