Fork pull_request runs do not receive normal repository secrets on GitHub Actions. Review this as a reliability/intent signal, not as direct fork-secret exfiltration. Raise severity only for pull_request_target or another trusted-context path that runs untrusted PR code with secrets.

Escape with javax.naming.ldap.Rdn.escapeValue or equivalent. For python-ldap, use ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars. Better: use parameterized search APIs (Spring LdapTemplate filter encoders).
