Summary

  • move the ACS-owned Prow/GCS collector out of the Harness task bundle
  • let the checked-out acs-triage-agent repository provide scripts/gsutil
  • keep Harness responsible for generic OpenShell task wiring and provider-token mapping
  • remove the duplicated Harness task instructions and collector

The matching ACS change is in stackrox/acs-triage-agent#44.

Validation

  • bash -n passed for the ACS collector and OpenShell runner scripts
  • git diff --check passed
  • collector rejection paths were smoke-tested locally

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated ACS CI nightly guidance for read-only triage, gateway-managed GitHub access, short-lived authentication, and optional diagnostic outputs.
    • Removed the former detailed CI nightly workflow instructions.
  • Workflow Changes

    • Added a read-only GitHub access profile.
    • Removed separate connectivity preflight checks and generated logs.

Walkthrough

The PR updates ACS nightly triage to run through scripts/run-triage.sh with read-only provider access and optional diagnostic artifacts. It removes obsolete ACS workflow files and removes artifact-write permission from the StackRox CI sandbox.

Changes

ACS triage sandbox

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider and execution wiring
tasks/acs-ci-nightly/README.md, tasks/acs-ci-nightly/openshell/*, tasks/acs-ci-nightly/workflow/harness.yaml
The sandbox adds read-only GitHub access, maps the provider-issued Google Cloud token at runtime, runs scripts/run-triage.sh, and exports optional triage outputs.
Obsolete workflow removal
tasks/acs-ci-nightly/workflow/CI-NIGHTLY.md, tasks/acs-ci-nightly/workflow/preflight.yaml
The former ACS nightly task instructions and preflight workflow configuration were deleted.

StackRox sandbox permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Artifact write permission removal
images/stackrox/sandbox-stackrox-ci/settings.json
The sandbox no longer permits Write(artifacts/*).

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d8d0d

The sandbox can still modify collected triage artifacts, so artifact results are not protected by the intended permission change. Add the explicit deny rule before merge.

Prepending /sandbox/scripts to the PATH poses a security risk. The acs-triage-agent repository is cloned into /sandbox, so any executable in its scripts directory can shadow system commands. If that repository is compromised, this could lead to arbitrary code execution. Consider using absolute paths to trusted binaries instead of modifying the PATH.

Overriding gsutil with a shell function that calls a script from the cloned repository (/sandbox/scripts/gsutil) is fragile and can be a security risk. It makes the behavior of gsutil dependent on the content of the acs-triage-agent repository, which is considered task input. An attacker who can modify this repository can control the actions performed by gsutil. It also makes the workflow harder to audit. Prefer calling scripts with explicit, absolute paths.

Restrict credentialed execution to protected source revisions.

A pull-request test may supply a public ACS commit as ACS_TRIAGE_REF. The checked-out source can access GCP_SA_ACCESS_TOKEN through BASH_ENV and write arbitrary content to ci-triage.json, which the workflow publishes. The read-only GCS policy does not prevent this artifact disclosure.

Allow only protected trusted refs in this credentialed workflow. Use a separate workflow without prow-gcs-read for untrusted pull-request commits.

The hardcoded path /sandbox/scripts appears incorrect. The source block clones the repository into /sandbox/acs-triage-agent, so the correct path is likely /sandbox/acs-triage-agent/scripts. This bug affects this line and the gsutil function on the next line.

This cd command implies that the git repository is cloned as a subdirectory acs-triage-agent inside /sandbox. This contradicts the PATH setting in the .bash_env payload, which assumes the scripts are in /sandbox/scripts. Please ensure the git clone destination and the paths used in the script and agent commands are consistent.

The Write(artifacts/*) permission is removed, but Edit(artifacts/*) is kept. The run-triage.sh script is expected to create new files in the artifacts/ directory. If Edit does not allow file creation, this change will break the task. Please verify that Edit allows creating new files, or restore the Write permission.

This provider allows both gh and curl to use the GitHub token. While the network policy restricts operations to GET, allowing curl gives more freedom than just gh. If the intention is to only allow gh to use this token for triage, consider removing curl from the list of binaries to reduce the attack surface.

The agent command relies on cd to change the working directory before executing the script. This can be fragile. Consider using an absolute path for the script and having the script manage its working directory if necessary, or check if the harness system provides a "workdir" option for the agent.

The removal of the preflight.yaml task means there are no more standalone connectivity checks before the main triage script runs. This could make debugging failures in the triage script more difficult. Consider adding a short preflight step back to the start of the new run-triage.sh script to verify credentials and connectivity early.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Block artifact edits explicitly. The harness runs the shell entrypoint and collects its three artifact files. No checked-in StackRox CI task or policy requires agent edits to artifacts/. However, removing only Edit(artifacts/*) from allow is not sufficient because defaultMode: "acceptEdits" also auto-approves edits in the agent’s working directory, which contains artifacts/. Add Edit(artifacts/*) to deny and remove it from allow to prevent the agent from altering collected triage results.

The agent type change from "claude" to "/bin/bash" delegates control from this task to the external "run-triage.sh" script. This is a significant expansion of the trust boundary and a potential security risk, as the task now executes whatever is in that script.
