CRITICAL: tj-actions/changed-files Supply Chain Attack β€” Directly Relevant to TechFlow's GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline

The March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files compromise injected malicious code into a widely-used GitHub Actions workflow, exposing CI/CD secrets across thousands of repositories. TechFlow's reliance on GitHub Actions without MFA enforcement on pipelines places this organization in the highest-risk category. Immediate action required.
