Summary
actions/checkoutpaths before comparing them with local script and action paths../, trailing-slash, nested, andworkflow_runpath cases.Root cause
Local script and action paths use the shared
GITHUB_WORKSPACE/representation, while explicit checkout paths were compared verbatim. Equivalent paths therefore failed the critical-query subpath check.Reproduction: 1sgtpepper/codeql-actions-checkout-path-repro#2.
Impact
actions/untrusted-checkout/criticalnow reports privileged workflows that execute code from an explicitly named checkout directory. Checkout paths that are already absolute or expression-based retain the existing normalization behavior.Validation
