Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Automated container and sanity checks now run when pull requests are opened, updated, or reopened.
    • Validation runs are restricted to authorized contributors, preventing unauthorized test executions.
    • Checks now evaluate the latest proposed pull request changes directly.
    • Pull request validation behavior is more consistent across container and sanity test workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Both test workflows now run on pull request events. They validate the triggering actor’s write access and check out the pull request head SHA with unsafe pull request checkout enabled.

Changes

PR workflow execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow trigger, authorization, and checkout
.github/workflows/container-tests.yml, .github/workflows/sanity-tests.yaml
The workflows use pull_request_target for opened, synchronized, and reopened pull requests. They define explicit repository permissions and validate write access for the triggering actor. Checkout uses the pull request head SHA with unsafe pull request checkout enabled. The sanity workflow derives the pull request number from that SHA.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7ecef

This changes PR test execution to run checked-out contributor code with repository write permissions after a privileged rerun, creating a repository-compromise risk. Container test metadata may also lose its pull request number, so this should not merge until both behaviors are corrected.

Explanation

The title relates to the pull request because the changes address a reported workflow vulnerability. However, "Fix vulnerability issue" is vague and does not identify the affected workflows or the unsafe pull-request checkout problem.

- Around line 4-5: Update the workflow so authorization runs in a separate
non-matrix job before runner allocation, exposing a successful result for
authorized actors. Make the matrix build job depend on that authorization job
and proceed only when its output indicates approval, while preserving the
existing unauthorized-actor rejection behavior.

- Around line 43-44: Remove external pull-request checkout and test execution
from the pull_request_target workflow, including the
github.event.pull_request.head.sha reference and Makefile invocation. Move
checkout and tests to an unprivileged pull_request workflow, while keeping
privileged status updates in a separate workflow that never checks out pull
request code.
