The CloudAI release scan pipeline has no trigger today — every release scan is started by hand from Jenkins with the tag typed in. This forwards the GitHub release event to its webhook instead.

Fires on published and prereleased, so release candidates get scanned before anything ships. Firing only on a final release means the artifact is already public by the time a bad scan result comes back.

Runs on the self-hosted blossom runner because the Jenkins instance is not reachable from GitHub-hosted runners.

Paired with Mellanox/cloudaix#724, which adds the matching webhook trigger and maps $.release.tag_name onto CLOUDAI_SHA and CLOUDAI_VERSION.

Needs before this works

A RELEASE_CI_SERVER repository secret holding the full webhook URL including the cloudai-release token. The job fails loudly if it is unset rather than silently doing nothing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a GitHub Actions workflow for published and prereleased releases. The workflow sends the full GitHub event payload to RELEASE_CI_SERVER with request timeouts and fails on shell or curl errors.

Changes

Release scan automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release event delivery
.github/workflows/release-scan.yml
The workflow runs on the blossom self-hosted runner, posts the full event payload as JSON, applies connection and total timeouts, and echoes the release tag after success.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9b034

The new release-scan workflow forwards release events to Jenkins using a secret webhook URL. Nothing ensures that URL uses HTTPS, so a misconfigured secret could leak the webhook token. A prerelease can also trigger the scan twice. Both are small fixes that should be made or explicitly accepted before merging. The earlier shell-injection and timeout issues are fixed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the redundant prereleased trigger.

published already fires for prereleases. Keeping both activity types can send two webhook requests for one prerelease. Use only published.

Proposed fix
-    types: [published, prereleased]
+    types: [published]

Based on learnings: published includes prereleases and also covers draft releases that are later published.

Require HTTPS for the token-bearing webhook URL.

RELEASE_CI_SERVER can currently use http://. curl then sends the cloudai-release token in cleartext. A network observer can capture the token and invoke the Jenkins webhook.

Reject non-HTTPS URLs before the request. Also restrict curl to HTTPS.

The release scan pipeline had no trigger, so it was started by hand from
Jenkins for every release. Forward the release event to its webhook
instead, and fire on pre-releases too so release candidates are scanned
before anything ships.

Runs on a self-hosted runner because the Jenkins instance is not
reachable from GitHub-hosted runners.
