Walkthrough

The NuGet publish workflow now grants OIDC token access and authenticates through nuget/login@v1. The publish step uses the API key returned by that login step.

The publish job grants id-token: write, logs in to NuGet for the ifBars user, and uses the login output for package publishing.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63952

The change leaves the package publishing workflow exposed to mutable action code and causes its security integration test to fail. Both should be corrected before merging.

P1 Badge Update the workflow security test for OIDC

Every invocation of this workflow reaches the Run tests step before publishing, but PublishWorkflow_ExposesRegistryCredentialOnlyInIsolatedPublishJob still requires the NuGet publish job to contain permissions: {} and a secrets.NUGET_API_KEY reference (ReleaseWorkflowSecurityTests.cs:36-39). This OIDC change removes both strings, so that test deterministically fails and prevents the publish job from ever reaching nuget/login; update the test to assert the new isolated id-token: write permission and login output instead.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Update the workflow security test.

PublishWorkflow_ExposesRegistryCredentialOnlyInIsolatedPublishJob requires permissions: {} and secrets.NUGET_API_KEY. Both assertions fail with this trusted-publishing workflow. Update the test to assert the OIDC permission and the absence of the long-lived secret reference.

Also applies to: 119-119

Pin nuget/login to an immutable commit SHA.

@v1 is mutable. If an attacker retargets this tag, a later publish run executes replacement code with id-token: write. That code can exchange the job OIDC token for a temporary NuGet API key and publish a malicious package. Pin the reviewed release to a verified full commit SHA, with the version in a trailing comment. GitHub identifies a full SHA as the immutable action reference. (docs.github.com)

Based on learnings: third-party actions must use full immutable commit SHAs.
