Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Code Injection: Untrusted branch names can inject malicious payload scripts into GitHub Actions workflow environments. Pinning actions and using intermediate environment variables instead of direct inline script expansion is critical.

Code Execution: Unsafe parsing of dynamic CLI arguments using standard Python eval() allowed remote code execution. Replacing this with ast.literal_eval restricts evaluation to literal structures only.

SQL Injection: Dynamic SQL schema modifications (ALTER TABLE) with unescaped column names permitted SQL injection attacks. Dynamic identifiers must always have their double-quotes properly escaped.
