This pull request introduces a workflow that uses an unvalidated workflow_dispatch input (release_number) directly as the ref for actions/checkout, letting anyone with write access trigger the workflow and check out an arbitrary ref (branch/tag/commit) which could lead to arbitrary code execution in the runner and possible secret exfiltration. The issue is in .github/workflows/release-x-manual-docker-containers.yml (lines ~63–64) and should be mitigated by validating or restricting the ref input or avoiding unchecked checkout of user-supplied refs.

| Description | The GitHub Actions workflow release-x-manual-docker-containers.yml uses an unvalidated release_number input from workflow_dispatch directly as the ref for the actions/checkout action. This allows anyone with write access to the repository to trigger the workflow and specify an arbitrary Git reference (e.g., a malicious branch, tag, or commit hash from a fork). This could lead to arbitrary code execution within the CI/CD runner, potentially exfiltrating secrets or compromising the build process. |
