Summary

  • Adds required secret-scan job to ci.yml per the push-protection standard
  • Job runs gitleaks with full git history (fetch-depth: 0) on every PR and push to main
  • Uses --redact to prevent leaked values from appearing in logs
  • Fails the build (--exit-code 1) on any finding
  • All actions pinned to SHA per the Action Pinning Policy

Closes #171

Generated with Claude Code

Adds the required secret-scan job per the push-protection standard
(standards/push-protection.md#required-ci-job). Scans full git history

gitleaks-action v2 requires a paid GITLEAKS_LICENSE for org repos.
Switch to installing and running the gitleaks CLI (open-source, no
license needed) directly — same full-history scan with --redact and
--exit-code 1 as the standard requires.

The inline reference to ci-standards.md#action-pinning-policy appears to be a dead link in this repo (no ci-standards.md at the repository root). Consider updating this comment to point at an existing doc (e.g., the org standard) or remove the reference to avoid misleading future updates.

# Pin to SHA per Action Pinning Policy (ci-standards.md#action-pinning-policy).

Automated review — NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW

Risk: HIGH
Reviewed commit: 00414687af5f3401fba3364b1cf5249de4d32f63
Cascade: triage → audit (see triage: haiku 4.5 → deep: sonnet 4.6 + duck: gpt-5.4 → audit: opus 4.6 for models)

Summary

SonarCloud Quality Gate is FAILING with 1 open Security Hotspot and the PR is merge-blocked; this alone warrants escalation. The underlying defect is a real supply-chain weakness: the gitleaks install step fetches the 'latest' release dynamically over curl and pipes the tarball to tar with no version pin and no checksum verification. Running unpinned unverified binaries inside a security-scanning job is an unacceptable posture and must be fixed before merge.

Findings

Critical

  • [critical] .github/workflows/ci.yml — SonarCloud Code Analysis check is FAILING with 1 Security Hotspot (confirmed by sonarqubecloud comment 'Quality Gate failed - 1 Security Hotspot'). mergeStateStatus is BLOCKED. Resolve or explicitly disposition the hotspot in SonarCloud before merge — do not bypass.

Major

  • [major] .github/workflows/ci.yml:117 — Install step resolves gitleaks latest at runtime via the GitHub API and installs the binary with no integrity check: curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/latest | grep tag_name ... then curl -sSfL <release tarball> | tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin gitleaks. There is no version pin, no SHA256 verification against the published checksums file, and the API call is unauthenticated (subject to rate limiting and upstream tampering risk). Pin to an explicit version (e.g. v8.27.2), download the matching checksums file, verify sha256sum -c before extracting, and write the binary to a tempdir owned by the runner user. Running an unverified third-party binary inside a job labelled secret-scan is especially ironic and is almost certainly the Security Hotspot SonarCloud is flagging.

Minor

  • [minor] .github/workflows/ci.yml:118 — Fragile version parsing: grep "tag_name" | cut -d\" -f4 | sed s/v// silently returns an empty string if the API schema changes or the response is HTML (e.g. rate-limit error page). Worth replacing with jq -r .tag_name and an explicit non-empty check.

Info

  • [info] .github/workflows/ci.yml:108 — The helper-lookup comment gh api repos/actions/checkout/git/refs/tags/v4 is stale relative to the pinned # v6.0.2 SHA. Worth correcting the example command to reference v6 for future maintainers.
  • [info] .github/workflows/ci.yml — Positive observations: workflow is triggered by pull_request (not pull_request_target), so fork PRs run with a read-only ephemeral token and no org secrets. The secret-scan job declares permissions: contents: read. Top-level permissions: {} is set. These mitigations materially lower the blast radius of the unverified-binary issue but do not eliminate it on push-to-main runs.

CI status

SonarCloud Quality Gate FAILING — 1 Security Hotspot open. mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED.
