Summary of Changes

Hello @google-admin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request systematically refactors the way input variables are handled across multiple GitHub Actions. The change involves migrating direct input variable access within shell run steps to an environment variable-based approach. This update standardizes input handling, making the actions more robust and secure by aligning with recommended GitHub Actions practices.

Highlights

  • GitHub Actions Refactoring: Input variables within run steps in several GitHub Actions have been refactored to be passed as explicit environment variables. This enhances security and reliability by preventing direct interpolation of inputs within shell commands, which can lead to unexpected behavior or injection vulnerabilities.
  • Standardized Input Access: All affected action.yml files now follow a consistent pattern where inputs.<input-name> are first assigned to INPUTS_<INPUT_NAME> environment variables, and then these environment variables are used within the shell scripts.

Code Review

This pull request refactors several GitHub Actions to use environment variables instead of direct input interpolation in shell scripts, which is a significant step towards mitigating shell injection vulnerabilities. However, a critical vulnerability remains: several shell commands use these new environment variables without double quotes. This exposes the scripts to word splitting and potential command injection if input values contain shell metacharacters. It is essential to wrap these variables in double quotes to ensure the security fix is robust and fully prevent command injection.

The environment variable INPUTS_CORE_PACKAGE_NAME is used unquoted. This creates a command injection vulnerability if the core-package-name input contains shell metacharacters, as it's subject to word splitting. Always double-quote environment variables in shell commands to prevent this.

The environment variable INPUTS_GITHUB_TOKEN is used unquoted. Although it appears within "", in bash these are interpreted as empty strings, leaving the variable expansion vulnerable. This creates a command injection risk if the token contains shell metacharacters. Ensure the variable itself is double-quoted.

        echo "//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${INPUTS_GITHUB_TOKEN}" >> ~/.npmrc

The image tag variable should be quoted to ensure the shell handles the string correctly, especially since it originates from a git reference.
