security(workflows): fix script injection vulnerabilities (CodeQL alerts)

SHAdd0WTAka · SHAdd0WTAka · commit 26c4e07df780 · 2026-02-24T07:47:09.000+01:00
Fixes multiple 'Dangerous-Workflow' and 'Clear-text logging' alerts: 1. mcp/obsidian/server.py: - Add mask_sensitive_data() helper - Log masked versions of secrets to stderr - Prevents clear-text logging of sensitive data 2. .github/workflows/zenclaw-discord.yml: - Move all github.event.* variables to env section - Prevents shell injection through commit messages, issue titles, etc. - Add security comment explaining the pattern 3. .github/workflows/telegram-notifications.yml: - Move all event data to job-level env variables - Fixes injection in workflow names, issue titles, PR titles 4. .github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml: - Move PR_TITLE to env variable - Prevents injection through Renovate PR titles Security: All github.event context values are now properly escaped by GitHub Actions before being used in shell commands. See GitHub Security hardening guide: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions
