This workflow implements the GitHub action for OSSAR that will support the current static analysis toolchain by integrating the Microsoft Security DevOps CLI with additional open-source security analysis tools.

For supply-chain hardening, consider pinning actions/checkout to a full commit SHA instead of the mutable @v4 tag, and use Dependabot (github-actions ecosystem) to keep it updated.

The PR description mentions integrating the Microsoft Security DevOps CLI in this workflow, but the workflow only runs github/ossar-action and uploads its SARIF. Either update the workflow to include the intended Microsoft Security DevOps step(s), or adjust the PR description to match what’s actually being added here.

Running SARIF upload on the pull_request event will fail (or be skipped) for PRs coming from forks because GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only in that context and can’t write security-events. Consider removing the pull_request trigger, or switching to a safer pattern (e.g., pull_request_target with careful checkout of the PR head SHA and no untrusted code execution with elevated permissions) depending on whether you need PR annotations.

The .NET guidance comments here reference the deprecated “Microsoft Security Code Analysis CLI” and require .NET Core 3.1.x (EOL). This looks unrelated to the current microsoft/security-devops-action usage and could mislead future maintainers. Please update/remove this block to reflect the actual runtime requirements of the MSDO action (and, if .NET is truly required, install a currently supported version rather than 3.1.x).

Setting FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24: true opts all JavaScript-based actions in this job into Node 24, which can break actions that haven’t declared compatibility yet. Unless you specifically need this early opt-in, consider removing it or scoping the change to only the actions that require it.

@copilot review this PR

Here's my review of the current PR state (commit 67075ab):

Overall: ✅ Looks good with two issues addressed in this revision.

Changes made in this review pass:

  1. Removed FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24: true — this env var opts all JavaScript-based actions into Node 24, which can silently break actions that haven't declared compatibility yet. Removed it entirely.
  2. Updated .NET comments — replaced the outdated block referencing the deprecated Microsoft Security Code Analysis CLI and EOL .NET Core 3.1.x with accurate guidance pointing to the MSDO action's own documentation.

Current workflow status:

  • ✅ Triggers: push to master and weekly cron only (the unsafe pull_request trigger was removed in a prior commit)
  • ✅ Permissions: minimal (contents: read, security-events: write)
  • ✅ All actions pinned to full commit SHAs for supply-chain hardening
  • ✅ MSDO step has continue-on-error: true so a tool failure doesn't block the OSSAR upload
  • ✅ MSDO SARIF upload is gated on if: steps.msdo.outputs.sarifFile to avoid failing on empty output
