From 2455368af90d7a712bdef31f16be61f1b590b614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: brady gaster Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 01:07:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(ci): stop splicing repo-health report content into github-script bodies MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Security Review, Architectural Review, and Squad File Leakage reporters interpolated their scan output into the `script:` body of actions/github-script via `${{ steps.*.outputs.result }}` inside a template literal. Finding messages legitimately quote code in backticks (e.g. "Unsafe git operation: `git push --force-with-lease`"), which closes the literal early and leaves the rest of the JSON to be parsed as JavaScript — `SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'git'`. The gate then failed with an opaque parse error and never posted the finding, which is indistinguishable from a clean run to anyone skimming. Fixed at the boundary: report content now travels through the step environment (`REPO_HEALTH_OUTPUT`) and is read with `process.env`, so payload text is never part of the parsed script. Applied to all three sibling reporters, which shared the bug, plus the impact reporter in squad-impact.yml for consistency. Regression coverage extracts the real `script:` bodies from the workflow YAML, applies GitHub Actions expression substitution, and compiles them the way github-script does, using findings that contain a backtick, a bare `${`, an apostrophe, a double quote, and a newline. Verified red against the pre-fix workflow with the exact production error.

Those are added lines in the PR diff, so the security scanner flagged them -- correctly, by its own rules -- and emitted findings that quote the offending command in backticks. That is the exact input this PR exists to make safe, which produced a genuinely useful accident: the Repo Health check on this PR died with ##[error]Unhandled error: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'git' at new AsyncFunction () ...the #1770 crash, reproducing end-to-end in CI, on the pull request that fixes it, from a fixture nobody designed to trigger it. It cannot be fixed by this PR's own diff. squad-repo-health.yml runs on pull_request_target and deliberately checks out base-branch scripts, so the workflow evaluating this PR is dev's copy -- still carrying the bug. The fix is structurally unverifiable in CI until it merges. So the fixture is reworded instead: the quoted command becomes one the scanner does not flag, no finding is emitted, and nothing crashes. The backticks, the bare ${ opener, the apostrophe, the double quote and the embedded newline all stay -- those are the hostile inputs the test exists to prove safe, and none of them are what the scanner objects to. The gate is untouched: no ignore entry, no severity change, no path exclusion.
