This GitHub user is poking around on public repos, seems like trying to find exploits using automated GitHub workflows.

He's opening and closing pull requests (like [this one](https://github.com/deliveroo/merge-pr-to-branch/pull/38)) on projects using NPM, with "test" file changes on \`.gitignore\` and \`package.json\`.

[One PR](https://github.com/npm/statusboard/pull/616/files) seem to have a shell access preinstall script? [screenshot](https://imgur.com/4VV9aKG)

Is this malicious? If it is anybody knows which CVE is this?
