This guide focuses on securing CI/CD pipelines, which have become a major attack surface due to their automation and access to critical systems. It outlines the OWASP Top 10 CI/CD risks, including weak workflow controls, poor identity and access management, dependency chain attacks, and insecure configurations. The core recommendation is to adopt a zero-trust approach across the pipeline—enforcing least privilege, isolating build environments, validating dependencies, and ensuring strong credential hygiene. It also emphasizes artifact integrity, proper logging, and governance of third-party integrations. Overall, the guide stresses that pipelines must be tightly controlled, continuously monitored, and segmented to prevent attackers from injecting malicious code or escalating access across
