    PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

    Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 1 🔵⚪⚪⚪⚪
    🧪 No relevant tests
    🔒 Security concerns

    Insecure download practice:
    The PR downloads and installs a development release of sparkci directly from GitHub without verifying the checksum or signature of the downloaded binary. This could potentially allow for a supply chain attack if the source is compromised. Additionally, using 'latest' tag and a development version (0.0.0-dev) in a CI pipeline introduces unpredictability. Consider pinning to a specific release version and implementing checksum verification.

    ⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

    Security Practice

    The PR installs sparkci directly from GitHub using a development release without version pinning or checksum verification. Consider using a specific version and verifying the download integrity.

    curl -L https://github.com/sparkfabrik/sparkci/releases/download/latest/sparkci_0.0.0-dev_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
    sudo mv sparkci /usr/local/bin/

    Secure binary download process

    Verify the downloaded binary with a checksum or signature to ensure integrity and
    prevent supply chain attacks. Also consider pinning to a specific version rather
    than using 'latest' which can lead to unexpected behavior if the binary changes.

     # Install sparkci (dev release just for testing).
     echo "Install sparkci"

    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    __

    Why: The suggestion significantly improves security by adding version pinning and checksum verification, which helps prevent supply chain attacks. It also adds proper cleanup by removing the downloaded archive, which is a good practice for CI environments.
