fix(publish-dotnet-library): pin dotnet-releaser to a reviewed version - #303
Conversation
The publish job installed whatever dotnet-releaser version was latest and ran it with the NuGet API key and a write-capable token. Pin it, track the same version in a Dependabot-watched tool manifest, and fail CI when an install is unpinned or drifts from the tracked version.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe publish workflow now installs dotnet-releaser at version 0.24.0. A Bash check scans workflow and action YAML files and shell scripts for .NET tool install and update commands. It rejects commands that do not match the required pinned-install format and requires the dotnet-releaser pin in the publishing workflow. The CI coverage-parity job runs the check. Priority: ⬆️ High Severity of issue fixed: High Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Publishing remains pinned, but adding a valid .NET tool command to a scanned workflow or script can incorrectly fail CI. Restrict detection to installs and updates before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to Pinning the release tool reduces exposure to unreviewed upstream updates. The new check runs in CI, but whether it must pass before a release is not established. No security exposure introduced by this PR was identified.

Stays a draft on one side effect found at this head ( Adding the tracked tool manifest ( Next step, before promotion: either keep the Dependabot-tracked manifest and stop the submission job from reaching the fixtures, or drop the manifest and keep only the explicit inline pin with its test. The pin itself (the security half of #265) is unaffected by either choice. |
The Dependabot-tracked dotnet-tools.json turned on GitHub's automatic NuGet dependency submission, which restores the deliberately broken .github/fixtures projects and fails. Keep the exact inline pins and the test that rejects an unpinned install; bump pins by hand after review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

A pinned install chained on the same line (a; b) could lend its --version to an unpinned install before it, so the guard passed while dotnet-releaser stayed unpinned. Split each run line into commands and require an exact --version on every install, and on the dotnet-releaser install itself.

Findings & Analysis
- Correctness:
test-dotnet-tool-pins.shproperly splits chained commands (sed -E 's/(;|&&|\|\||\|)/\n/g') and validates each command segment independently to ensure exact version pinning for .NET tool installs. - Security:
dotnet-releaseris explicitly pinned to version0.24.0inpublish-dotnet-library.yaml, preventing unreviewed upstream releases from executing with write tokens or NuGet API keys. - CI: All required checks pass. All 0 unresolved review threads.
Verdict: no P0/P1 findings

Why
Every .NET library release installed whatever version of its release tool was newest, and ran it with the package-publishing key and a write-capable token. A broken or compromised upstream release would reach those credentials with no review on our side.
What
The release tool is now fixed to one reviewed version, which is raised by hand after reviewing each new upstream release. A check fails if any .NET tool install in the shared workflows or actions ever becomes unpinned.
Fixes #265
