Code Review

Style (9/10)

• The code is well-structured and easy to read.
• Consistent use of whitespace and formatting.
• However, there are some minor issues:
  • Missing spaces around equals signs in the with: section.
  • Consider adding a blank line between jobs and steps for better readability.

Security (10/10)

• The workflow uses an official GitHub Action (actions/checkout@v4) and a trusted security tool (aquasecurity/trivy-action@master).
• Proper authentication is not explicitly shown in the code snippet, but it's assumed to be handled by the Actions environment.

Performance (8/10)

• The schedule section runs the workflow every Monday at midnight UTC. This might lead to unnecessary runs if no changes are pushed on Sundays.
• Consider adding a needs: [ dependencies ] directive to ensure that the scan is only triggered after dependencies have been fetched.

Design (8/10)

• The workflow name, "Dependency Scan", clearly describes its purpose.
• However, it's unclear what exactly this workflow scans (code dependencies or environment dependencies).
• Consider adding a description field to provide more context about the workflow.

To address these points, I would suggest:

...
-        - name: Checkout Code
+      - name: Checkout code repository

      # Run Trivy for scanning code dependencies
      - name: Run Trivy Dependency Scan
        uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@master
        with:
          scan-type: 'fs'
          ignore-unfixed: true  # ignore vulnerabilities without fixes 
          format: 'table'
          exit-code: '0'  # change to '1' if you want workflow to fail if vulnerabilities are found

      ...
