Code Review
This pull request upgrades the @actions/github dependency from version 5.1.1 to 6.0.0 to address a medium severity Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability. Upgrading dependencies, especially for security fixes, is crucial for maintaining the health and security of the project. This is a positive change.
Summary of Findings
- Security Vulnerability Fixed: The PR successfully addresses a medium severity ReDoS vulnerability (SNYK-JS-OCTOKITREQUESTERROR-8730854) by upgrading
@actions/github. - Major Version Upgrade: The upgrade to
@actions/githubv6.0.0 is a major version change, which may introduce breaking changes. Compatibility with the new API should be verified. - Node.js Version Requirement: Updated dependencies of
@actions/githubnow require Node.js version>= 18. Although the action currently uses Node.js 20, this new minimum requirement is a notable change. - Existing TODOs: There are existing TODO comments in
action.ymlandsrc/cache-save.ts. These were noted but not commented on in the review as per the review settings. - Test Verification: The PR includes updated test files. It is important to ensure that all tests pass with the updated dependencies to confirm compatibility. (Not commented on in the review as per the review settings).
Merge Readiness
This pull request addresses a security vulnerability, which is important. However, the upgrade to a new major version of @actions/github and the introduction of a Node.js >= 18 requirement by its dependencies warrant careful review. While the action currently uses Node.js 20, verifying compatibility with the new @actions/github API and ensuring tests pass is crucial before merging. I recommend requesting changes to confirm these aspects. I am unable to approve this pull request; please ensure other reviewers approve this code before merging.

Several updated @octokit dependencies, pulled in by @actions/[email protected], now include an engines field specifying a minimum Node.js version of >= 18. While this action currently uses node20 (as defined in action.yml), which meets this requirement, this is a significant change in the dependency's compatibility requirements. It's important to be aware of this new constraint, especially if there are considerations for running this action in environments with older Node.js versions.

This PR upgrades @actions/github to a new major version (v6.0.0). Major version bumps often include breaking changes. While the primary motivation is a security fix, it's important to verify that the specific usage of @actions/github within this action remains compatible with the v6 API.
