This is incredibly serious. We just found out that railway created a deployment out of nothing out of thin air, taking our site down, using a very old random commit.

ruling out that we got hacked, it looks like railway just triggered a ghost commit from may 2023

in order for railway to deploy your commits they listen to webhooks that github fires, it's most likely that this was github's doing

vercel?

not necessarily, vercel could have some additional logic in there to prevent such things
in this case, it looks like only railway got triggered, so it narrows down to you
Any way we can have the team look at the requests? Also wondering if there's an attack vector somewhere
<@539512869780455445> My naive thinking at this point is that there was like a queued deployment request somehow that was stuck in a "processing" state in the db, some eng in Railway ran a script that had nothing to do with it and it got triggered
