Hi! I'm Diogo from Google's Open Source Security Team(GOSST) and I'm dropping by to suggest this small change that will enhance the security of your repository by preventing script injection attacks through your GitHub workflows.
In the piece of code I changed, you were directly using the value of a variable that comes from a user's input, so a malicious user could exploit that input and use it to run arbitrary code. By using an intermediate environment variable, the value of the expression is stored in memory, used as a variable and doesn't interact with the script generation process.
I understand your job already prevents runs from external PRs, but this simple change would provide additional security and keep the code immune to any script injection attempt.
You can find more information about this on this github documentation or in this gitguardian blogpost.
Cheers!
