workflow_dispatch lets pick any branch/ref to run from. Should we add a job check github.ref/sha against main?

Good catch. Added a "Verify release branch" step: publishes hard-fail unless the ref is main. Dry runs still work from any branch for validation.

Just a nit pick: I think we might have missed some tickets here. As this goes to github prerelease notes, we might want to get this in full. How about?

Applied, thanks. One tweak: "pooling" was a typo from the original commit message - the collector is PollingCollector, so it reads "polling/QRCode". This body feeds the GitHub prerelease notes via the workflow fallback.

GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch selected ref workflow file default branch permissions GITHUB_TOKEN OIDC untrusted branch code
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The workflow_dispatch event in GitHub Actions requires the workflow file to exist on the repository's default branch to be triggerable [1][2][3]. Once that requirement is met, the workflow can be manually triggered or dispatched against any branch, tag, or commit SHA using the GitHub UI, API, or CLI [1][2]. Security and permissions considerations for this event include: GITHUB_TOKEN and Permissions: By default, the GITHUB_TOKEN is available to workflows [4]. You should always apply the principle of least privilege by explicitly defining the permissions key at the workflow or job level to restrict the token's access to only what is strictly necessary [5][6][7]. While workflow_dispatch events create new workflow runs, they do not inherently grant elevated privileges compared to other triggers [3][4]. Untrusted Branch Code and Security: Triggering a workflow on an untrusted branch or code introduces risks similar to those found in other events that run on external or user-submitted code [8]. If a workflow checks out and executes code from a non-default or untrusted branch, it may expose secrets or perform unauthorized actions if the environment is not properly isolated or if permissions are overly broad [8]. It is critical to avoid using privileged triggers like pull_request_target for untrusted content [8]. OIDC and Identity: When using OpenID Connect (OIDC) to authenticate with cloud providers, GitHub automatically generates a JSON Web Token (JWT) [9]. The subject (sub) claim in this token is context-dependent [10]. Notably, when a workflow is triggered via workflow_dispatch—especially if it targets a specific environment—the subject claim changes (e.g., from ref:refs/heads/main to environment:production) [10]. Cloud providers must have their OIDC trust policies updated to accommodate these varying subject claim patterns, or authentication will fail [10]. To further enhance security, you can use the REST API to require specific custom claims, such as job_workflow_ref, in the OIDC token [11].

official GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch ref semantics permissions OIDC environment protection and npm trusted publishing workflow ref restrictions
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch triggers, OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, and npm trusted publishing interact through specific security mechanisms centered on branch restrictions, environment protection, and permission scoping. ### workflow_dispatch Semantics and Ref Restrictions The workflow_dispatch event allows for manual execution of workflows from the GitHub UI, CLI, or API [1]. - Ref Constraints: By default, the workflow file must exist on the repository's default branch to be triggerable [1]. When triggering via the API or CLI, a specific --ref (branch, tag, or commit SHA) can be specified [1]. - Security Limitation: Because workflow_dispatch can be triggered on arbitrary branches, it is a common vector for "poisoned pipeline" attacks if not properly constrained [2][3]. Organizations often use GitHub Actions policies (Rulesets) to restrict which actors (e.g., maintainers only) or branches are permitted to use this event [3]. ### Environment Protection Environments provide a critical security gate for workflows, including those triggered by workflow_dispatch [2][4]. - Branch Protection: You can configure an environment to only be deployable from specific branches (e.g., main) [5]. If a workflow is triggered by a workflow_dispatch event on a non-compliant branch, jobs referencing that environment will fail or be blocked [2][6]. - Secret/OIDC Scoping: Secrets defined at the environment level are only accessible to jobs explicitly referencing that environment [5]. This ensures that even if a workflow is triggered from an untrusted branch, it cannot access production secrets unless it passes the environment's protection rules (such as manual approval or branch constraints) [2][5]. ### npm Trusted Publishing with OIDC Trusted publishing removes the need for long-lived npm tokens by using OIDC tokens [7][8]. - Permissions: The workflow job must explicitly request the OIDC token by setting the id-token: write permission [9][7]. - Ref and Workflow Validation: When using trusted publishing, npm validates the OIDC token against the configuration registered on the npm registry [7]. - Reusable Workflow Limitations: A known challenge exists with reusable workflows (workflow_call). Currently, npm's trusted publishing validation checks the calling workflow's name/path rather than the reusable workflow that performs the actual publish [10][7]. This can lead to configuration mismatches [10]. - Security Best Practices: To prevent unauthorized publishing, developers should use conditional logic (e.g., if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') to restrict publishing to the intended branch, even when using trusted publishing [8]. Combining this with environment protection rules creates a defense-in-depth posture where only authorized branches can access the OIDC identity required for production publishing [7][2]. Top results: [1][9][7][2][5][3]

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-269 — Improper Privilege Management
Isolate non-main refs before granting release permissions.
A user with write access can dispatch this workflow on another branch. The job checks out that ref and runs repository-controlled commands before the non-main check, while dry_run skips the check. This exposes the selected-ref code to the workflow’s contents: write token. The workflow also grants id-token: write, but npm publication depends on the configured trusted publisher and environment protections.
Use a separate dry-run job with contents: read and no OIDC permission. Gate the publishing job at job level with !inputs.dry_run && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main', before checkout.
