fix(release): restore persist-credentials:false, re-auth only for release ops - #81
Conversation
…ease ops CodeRabbit catch (CWE-250, found on node-connectwise-automate rollout, live-verified there): the checkout step's default persisted credential stayed live through npm ci/build/test. Restores persist-credentials: false (the prior design had it) and re-authenticates in one place, right after the untrusted npm lifecycle completes, for the git commands (fetch --tags, the two pushes) that need it. task_1788457898992.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 97: Update the authenticated Git operations in the release workflow
around git remote set-url and the later git push so the post-test worktree never
contains a credential-bearing remote URL. Use a fresh checkout for the push, or
disable local hooks and provide authentication only to the individual Git
command without persisting GITHUB_TOKEN in repository configuration.

CodeRabbit catch (CWE-522): set-url writes the token into .git/config, readable by any later process in the job. Authenticate each git network call individually via -c http.extraheader instead -- nothing persists to disk. task_1788457898992.
GitHub auto-masks GITHUB_TOKEN itself but not derived/transformed values like its base64 encoding. ::add-mask:: right after computing it, before any git command uses it, at all 3 call sites.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 120: Update the credential-bearing Git operations near the fetch at line
120 and the corresponding operations near lines 157 and 252 to validate that the
remote URL uses HTTPS before sending AUTH_HEADER; reject or stop when the
configured origin or origin.pushurl is non-HTTPS, while preserving the existing
authenticated behavior for HTTPS remotes.
- Line 120: Update the authenticated Git operations around the tag-fetch command
to target an explicit trusted repository URL for every fetch and push, rather
than relying on the mutable configured remote. Preserve AUTH_HEADER
authentication while ensuring it is never sent to an unvalidated remote.
- Line 120: Update the release workflow’s tag-fetch step to authenticate Git
without interpolating AUTH_HEADER into the git command arguments; use an
environment- or configuration-based mechanism that keeps the token out of
process argv while preserving authenticated fetch behavior.
- Line 120: Update all three authenticated Git commands in the release workflow,
including the fetch command using http.extraheader, to set
http.followRedirects=false alongside the existing Git configuration. Preserve
their authentication and command behavior while ensuring credentials are not
forwarded across redirects.
- Line 157: Update the release workflow’s git push step to use --no-verify and
invoke git with GITHUB_TOKEN and PUSH_TOKEN removed from its environment, while
preserving the existing AUTH_HEADER authentication and v${VERSION} ref.

Disable hooks and remove tokens from both git push environments.
The push steps export GITHUB_TOKEN or PUSH_TOKEN. A compromised dependency can install a pre-push hook that reads these variables. Use --no-verify and invoke git with the raw token variables removed.

CodeRabbit catch (CWE-319): if something upstream ever rewrote origin's URL to http://, using the remote name would send the Basic-auth header in cleartext. An explicit https:// URL can't be redirected that way.

Reviewed the actual diff (node-atera#81 as the reference, spot-checked node-it-glue#74 matches identically). Confirmed: explicit https://github.com/${{ github.repository }}.git at all 3 call sites, correctly closes both CWE-319 (cleartext-if-tampered-to-http) and CWE-918 (SSRF-via-mutated-remote) since they shared the same root cause. Comments accurately describe the change. LGTM covers all 6 -- confirmed each repo's latest commit matches what you listed (datto-rmm 27dfbf9, atera efb726c... wait, atera's actual latest is what I diffed at 81, matches; crewhu 21a69d1, it-glue 62aa867, immybot 8c00918, superops 648855b -- all confirmed via gh pr list, not just your list). For the record (I'd drafted this before your amendment message landed, still worth stating): CodeRabbit actually left FOUR findings on node-atera#81, not the one you described to me -- CWE-319 (what you reported), CWE-918/SSRF (same fix, different label), and two MORE CWE-522 variants neither of us had discussed: (a) AUTH_HEADER is visible via /proc//cmdline to any same-user process while git runs -- CodeRabbit actually proved this with a live PoC, not just a static claim -- tagged "Heavy lift" by CodeRabbit itself, and (b) git's http.followRedirects defaults to "initial" so extraheader can still be sent to a redirected host on the first request, fixable with one more -c flag alongside the existing one. Not making a big deal of the gap since boss's call already landed and it's the right one either way -- just flagging it because a security-review report should reflect what was actually found, not a mental summary of it, and I'd rather say this now than have it be a pattern. Given boss already decided the explicit-URL fix and it's shipped, my read on the other two: skip (a) for now, it's the most far-fetched threat model of the bunch (needs a malicious dependency to leave a background process running specifically to scan /proc for a later git call) and CodeRabbit's own tag agrees it's not a quick fix. (b) is genuinely trivial (-c http.followRedirects=false alongside the existing extraheader flag) but I won't push for a 4th cycle on this file today -- worth a tracked follow-up task rather than another live-verify-retrofit round, your call on timing. Good to merge all 6 on my LGTM. |
