GitHub pull_request_target Workflow with Checkout Action
Detects when a pull_request_target workflow contains a checkout action, creating a potential security risk. pull_request_target workflows run with elevated privileges and have access to repository secrets even when triggered by external contributors from forks. When combined with a checkout action, this can create dangerous attack vectors. This is a well-known technique for supply chain compromise in GitHub Actions, often called a "pwn request".
