Is storing credentials in Github Secrets considered safe?
I'm guessing this would mean your RDS is on a public subnet / open to the internet which is not a good idea in general. But besides that I would suggest in this case to use: Authenticate with OIDC github -> AWS for temporary shortlived credentails. Use RDS IAM authentication for the migration, that way you also there get shortlived temporary credentials for the database. (not saying you should use RDS IAM auth for your app, but for the migration in the scenario you paint is ok). It's not per say that github secrets in considered insecure. But using static AKSK and password when not needed is less secure. More on reddit.com

It is safe to use secret in Action in a public repo?
Secrets are reasonably safe as long as you're not outputting values anywhere (logs or otherwise) and are using GitHub hosted runners (which are ephemeral). The bigger risk IMO would be someone opening a PR with a modified workflow that exports your secrets. Take care that your workflows don't trigger on pull_request_target and that you don't allow actions to run by default on PRs from first time contributors. Review all pull requests for changes to workflow files. Maybe even setup CODEOWNERS for workflow files as an extra approval step. Also, deployment environments can help to section off secrets too. You can make jobs on a certain environment require approval before the workflow can run - allowing you to proactively review before the job is permitted to execute and therefore read the environment secrets. Going beyond, lookup the "hardening for actions" GitHub official document for more info on secrets and best practices. Also, check google "preventing pwn requests on GitHub" from GitHub's security lab team. More on reddit.com

Stop making .env files the place where “real” values live. Keep a tracked .env.example (or similar) with variable names and safe placeholders. From there, switch local runs to pull values at execution time from your vault or password manager, so the secret only exists in the process environment for the moment it is needed.

More information can be found in the official documentation. To create repository secrets or environment-level secrets you must be either the repository owner or you must have admin access to it. Environment secrets play a crucial role in enhancing security by allowing the creation and management of secrets at an environment level, ensuring that only authorized reviewers can approve workflow runs that access these secrets.
