Security Guard workflow failed on PR #369 because COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN secret is not configured. Switched to Claude engine which uses existing CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secrets.

Changes

  • .github/workflows/security-guard.md: Added engine: { id: claude } to frontmatter
  • .github/workflows/*.lock.yml: Recompiled all workflows with gh aw compile (v0.37.26)

Engine Change

 permissions:
   contents: read
   pull-requests: read
   issues: read
+engine:
+  id: claude
 tools:
   github:
     toolsets: [default]

Secret validation now checks for Claude credentials instead of Copilot:

  • Before: COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN (not configured) → workflow fails
  • After: CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN OR ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (configured) → workflow succeeds

Side Effects

All agentic workflows updated to gh-aw v0.37.26 from v0.37.3 as part of the recompilation. Changes include:

  • Action version bumps (actions/checkout v5→v6, actions/setup-node updates)
  • awf binary v0.10.0→v0.11.2
  • Safe outputs path updates
  • New agentics-maintenance.yml workflow from framework

Security review functionality unchanged.

Security Review: Informational Notes

I've completed a security review of this PR. The changes do not introduce critical security vulnerabilities, but there are two areas where the security boundary has been slightly expanded compared to the previous Copilot configuration. These changes appear operationally justified for Claude engine support.

✅ No Core Firewall Changes

All firewall implementation code remains unchanged:

  • No modifications to iptables rules
  • No changes to Squid proxy configuration
  • No alterations to container security (capabilities, seccomp)
  • No updates to domain pattern validation

ℹ️ Expanded Network Access (Expected for Claude)

File: .github/workflows/security-guard.lock.yml:728

The allowed domains list expanded from 9 Copilot-specific domains to 50+ Claude-specific domains:

Key additions:

  • *.githubusercontent.com (wildcard) vs. previous raw.githubusercontent.com (specific)
  • Claude API: anthropic.com, api.anthropic.com, statsig.anthropic.com
  • Certificate validation: crl.*, ocsp.* (multiple CAs)
  • Package repos: pypi.org, archive.ubuntu.com, packages.*

Analysis: The *.githubusercontent.com wildcard is broader than the previous specific domain but remains scoped to GitHub's CDN infrastructure. All other additions are necessary for Claude's operation (API access, package installation, TLS certificate validation).

ℹ️ Expanded Filesystem Access

File: .github/workflows/security-guard.lock.yml:728

Container mounts changed from individual binaries to directory:

Before:

--mount /usr/bin/date:/usr/bin/date:ro
--mount /usr/bin/gh:/usr/bin/gh:ro  
--mount /usr/bin/yq:/usr/bin/yq:ro
--mount /usr/local/bin/copilot:/usr/local/bin/copilot:ro
--mount /home/runner/.copilot:/home/runner/.copilot:rw
``````

**After:**
``````
--mount /opt/hostedtoolcache:/opt/hostedtoolcache:ro

Analysis: This mount provides access to all GitHub Actions pre-installed tools rather than specific binaries. While mounted read-only (:ro), this does expand the attack surface. An attacker with code execution could potentially leverage any tools in this directory. However, this appears necessary for Claude CLI to access Node.js from the hostedtoolcache.

🔒 Security Boundary Assessment

Risk Level: Low
Justification: Operational requirement for Claude engine

Both expansions are:

  • ✅ Constrained by existing firewall mechanisms (domain allowlist, read-only mounts)
  • ✅ No dangerous capabilities added
  • ✅ No iptables rule weakening
  • ✅ No seccomp profile changes
  • ✅ All core firewall code unchanged

Recommendation

These changes are acceptable as they:

  1. Do not weaken the fundamental firewall security model
  2. Are properly scoped for Claude engine requirements
  3. Maintain defense-in-depth (iptables + Squid + container isolation)

No blocking security concerns identified.
