Comprehensive threat model covering: - Trust boundaries and data flow diagrams - Asset inventory with sensitivity ratings - Threat actor analysis - STRIDE-based threat enumeration with mitigations - Security controls summary (implemented and recommended) - Minimum token permissions guidance - Security checklist for users Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Clarifies that input-based threats (T1-T4) require attacker to control workflow inputs, which means they already need maintainer access for release-triggered workflows. - Add practical notes to each input-based threat - Add new "Practical Risk Assessment" section explaining: - Intended usage patterns (maintainer-triggered releases) - Threat realism by trigger type - Why input-based threats are defense-in-depth for this use case - Why we still implement these controls Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Since the action is designed to be triggered only by maintainers (not external users via PRs), input-based threats T1-T3 are accepted risks rather than mitigated: - T1 (Shell Injection): Accepted - attacker needs maintainer access - T2 (Command Injection): Accepted - maintainers control helm-docs args - T3 (Path Traversal): Accepted - maintainers control file paths Updated: - Changed mitigation status from ✅ to ⏸️ for T1-T3 - Added "Accepted Risks" section explaining the rationale - Updated Security Controls Summary to show implemented vs not implemented - Added warning that risks should be re-evaluated if usage model changes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
