+### OIDC trusted publishing compromise & provenance limits
+
+Cache poisoning and `pull_request_target` abuse become much more impactful when the **release workflow publishes through OIDC trusted publishing** instead of a static registry token:
+
+1. A low-trust workflow (`pull_request_target`, `issue_comment`, bot command, etc.) writes a **malicious binary/script** into a cache key later restored by the privileged release workflow.
+2. The release job restores and executes that binary while holding **`id-token: write`** or an already-minted registry session.
+3. The attacker steals the short-lived identity material, usually by either:
+   - directly requesting a GitHub OIDC token from `ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL` with `ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN`, or
+   - dumping the runner worker process memory / tool-specific token cache after the publish helper requested the token.
+4. The stolen OIDC token is exchanged with the registry trusted-publishing / federation endpoint for **real publish credentials**, so the malicious package is published by the victim's own CI/CD pipeline.
+
+This is important because **npm provenance and Sigstore attestations only prove that the package was produced by the expected build workflow**. They do **not** prove that the workflow was free from attacker-controlled code. If the attacker compromises the trusted builder itself, the backdoored package can still receive valid provenance.
+
+Practical implications during an assessment:
+
+- Look for release jobs with **`permissions: id-token: write`** plus `npm publish`, `pnpm publish`, `changesets`, or custom publish wrappers.
+- Treat `ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL`, `ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN`, runner memory, and CLI token caches as **equivalent credential sources** once code execution is obtained in the release context.
+- Do not assume `npm audit signatures` / provenance verification will detect a package built by a **compromised but legitimate** workflow.
+
+**Mitigations**
+
+- Keep untrusted workflows and release workflows on **separate cache namespaces** and never restore executable tooling from a cache written by PR-triggerable jobs.
+- Minimize `id-token: write` to the exact publish step/job and avoid exposing OIDC-capable helpers earlier in the workflow.
+- Rebuild/rehash restored binaries or download them from a verified source before execution; do not execute toolchains directly from cache paths.
+- Treat provenance as an **origin signal**, not a standalone safety signal; combine it with workflow hardening, dependency diffing, and runtime validation.

 ### Artifact Poisoning
 
 Workflows could use **artifacts from other workflows and even repos**, if an attacker manages to **compromise** the Github Action that **uploads an artifact** that is later used by another workflow he could **compromise the other workflows**:
