[MEDIUM] Potential Security Improvement in Trigger Action #11

Description

@github-actions

Problem

The recent changes in trigger_action.py introduce a potential security improvement by replacing the commit.author.login check with os.environ.get('GITHUB_ACTOR'). However, this change may have unintended consequences if not properly validated.

Code Reference

The changed code snippet is:

actor_login = os.environ.get('GITHUB_ACTOR', '').strip().lower()
if actor_login not in allowed_users:
    print(f'Action performed by {actor_login}, not in allowed list. Skipping.')
    exit(0)

Suggested Fix

To ensure the security of this change, it is recommended to validate the GITHUB_ACTOR environment variable and handle potential errors. Additionally, the allowed_users list should be reviewed to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate.
