Summary

Harden input handling in flowzone.yml (flagged by semgrep).

Vulnerability

Field Value

Severity HIGH
Scanner semgrep
Rule yaml.github-actions.security.github-script-injection.github-script-injection
File flowzone.yml:2405
Assessment Defensive hardening

Description: Using variable interpolation ${{...}} with github context data in a actions/github-script's script: step could allow an attacker to inject their own code into the runner. This would allow them to steal secrets and code. github context data can have arbitrary user input and should be treated as untrusted. Instead, use an intermediate environment variable with env: to store the data and use the environment variable in the run: script. Be sure to use double-quotes the environment variable, like this: "$ENVVAR".

Threat Model Context

This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.

Changes

  • flowzone.yml

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.


This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
