upbound/configuration-app #66
Change Summary:

• Added new GitHub workflow for file synchronization (filesync.yaml) that syncs shared files across repositories when changes are pushed to main or workflows branches
• Added new GitHub workflow for Makefile testing (makefile-test.yaml) that runs various make targets on pull requests to verify configuration changes
• Both workflows utilize GitHub secrets for authentication and repository access

Potential Vulnerability:

• File: .github/workflows/filesync.yaml:20

• Code: GH_PAT: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}

• Explanation: While using PAT for authentication is common, the workflow has broad permissions since the token scope isn't explicitly limited. This could potentially be exploited if the secret is compromised.

• File: .github/workflows/makefile-test.yaml:24

• Code: token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}

• Explanation: Same PAT security concern as above. Additionally, this workflow checks out additional repositories which increases the attack surface if the token has broad permissions.

Code Smell:

• File: .github/workflows/filesync.yaml:6-10
• Code:

    paths:
      - 'shared/**'
      - '.github/CODEOWNERS'
      - '.github/workflows/filesync.yaml'
      - '.github/sync.yml'

• Explanation: The workflow triggers on its own file changes which could potentially create recursive triggers if not properly handled by the action.

• File: .github/workflows/makefile-test.yaml:28-37

• Code:

    run: |
          cp shared/configurations/Makefile configuration-app/Makefile
          cd configuration-app
          make submodules
          make yamllint
          make render
          make check-examples
          make e2e

• Explanation: Multiple make commands are chained without error checking between steps. If an early step fails, the subsequent steps might run with invalid state.

Debug Log: None identified in the provided diff.

Unintended Consequences:

• File: .github/workflows/filesync.yaml:13-14

• Code: runs-on: ubuntu-latest

• Explanation: Using 'latest' tag for runner could lead to unexpected behavior if Ubuntu releases introduce breaking changes. Consider pinning to specific Ubuntu version.

• File: .github/workflows/makefile-test.yaml:29

• Code: cp shared/configurations/Makefile configuration-app/Makefile

• Explanation: Overwriting the destination Makefile without backup could lead to loss of repository-specific customizations that might exist in the target repository.

• File: .github/workflows/makefile-test.yaml:10-12

• Code:

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

• Explanation: While this prevents parallel runs, canceling in-progress builds could interrupt important tests or validations. Should consider if this is the desired behavior for all cases.

Risk Score: 7

The relatively high risk score is due to the combination of broad PAT usage, potential recursive triggers in the file sync workflow, and the aggressive file overwriting behavior. While the changes themselves are straightforward, the potential for unintended consequences in automated repository manipulation warrants careful review.
