A runner group with self-hosted runners allows public repositories.

Updated 02 Nov 2026Checked against cli@24498404a, vdb-sca-match@v0.8.14

Any GitHub user can trigger pull_request workflows in a public repository. If those jobs can land on your self-hosted runners, outsiders run code inside your network.
