Summary

Changes Made

  • .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml: Added Bash permissions for pre-commit tools
  • .github/workflows/claude.yml: Added Bash permissions for pre-commit tools

Permissions Added

  • Bash(pre-commit run --files) - Run pre-commit hooks on specific files
  • Bash(terraform fmt) - Format Terraform files
  • Bash(terraform validate) - Validate Terraform syntax
  • Bash(terraform-docs) - Generate/update documentation

Security

  • Permissions are scoped to specific pre-commit related commands only
  • Maintains existing security boundaries while enabling automation

Test Plan

  • YAML syntax validation passed
  • Pre-commit hooks validated on commit
  • Test Claude workflows can now run pre-commit commands in practice

Resolves #131

- Add allowed_tools parameter to claude-code-review.yml workflow
- Add allowed_tools parameter to claude.yml workflow
- Enable Claude to run pre-commit, terraform fmt, validate, and docs
- Maintains security by limiting to specific pre-commit commands

Todo List

  • Read and analyze .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml
  • Read and analyze .github/workflows/claude.yml
  • Check for security vulnerabilities in Bash permissions
  • Validate YAML syntax and workflow structure
  • Look for potential command injection or permission escalation issues
  • Provide actionable feedback on findings

🔍 Security Analysis Results

Overall Assessment: ✅ SECURE - The Bash permissions are appropriately scoped and safe.

📋 Findings Summary

✅ No Critical Issues Found

  • The added Bash permissions are correctly scoped to specific pre-commit related commands
  • Command injection risks are minimal due to the restricted command patterns
  • YAML syntax is valid in both files

🔧 Detailed Analysis

Bash Permissions Added (Both Files)

allowed_tools: "Bash(pre-commit run --files),Bash(terraform fmt),Bash(terraform validate),Bash(terraform-docs)"

Security Assessment:

  • Scoped Commands: Permissions are limited to specific, known-safe commands
  • No Wildcards: No dangerous patterns like Bash(*) or Bash(.*)
  • Pre-commit Focus: Commands are focused on code quality and documentation
  • No Shell Features: No access to shell operators like &&, ||, ;, or pipes

Command Analysis

  1. Bash(pre-commit run --files) - ✅ Safe

    • Limited to running pre-commit hooks on specific files
    • Cannot execute arbitrary commands
  2. Bash(terraform fmt) - ✅ Safe

    • Code formatting only, no destructive operations
    • Standard Terraform command
  3. Bash(terraform validate) - ✅ Safe

    • Read-only validation of Terraform syntax
    • No state modifications
  4. Bash(terraform-docs) - ✅ Safe

    • Documentation generation tool
    • No destructive operations

YAML Structure Validation

  • ✅ Both workflows have valid YAML syntax
  • ✅ Proper indentation and structure maintained
  • ✅ No syntax errors detected

💡 Recommendations

Current Implementation: Already Secure

The PR correctly implements the requested Bash permissions with appropriate security boundaries. No changes needed.

Optional Enhancement (Future Consideration):

# Consider adding version constraints for tools (not required for security)
allowed_tools: "Bash(pre-commit run --files*),Bash(terraform fmt*),Bash(terraform validate*),Bash(terraform-docs*)"

This would allow for command flags while maintaining security, but the current implementation is already safe and functional.


🎯 Summary

This PR successfully addresses issue #131 by adding the necessary Bash permissions for pre-commit automation while maintaining strong security boundaries. The implementation follows security best practices and poses no additional risk to the workflow environment.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve and merge
