GoWorks v0.7.9
Installers removed — superseded by v0.8.0.
v0.8.0 closes a full static-analysis pass, including an IPC error path that leaked
filesystem paths to the renderer. Please use v0.8.0. The source for this release is
still available at thev0.7.9tag.
Security
- Installers could ship a build-time OAuth credential; they no longer can. Up to
v0.7.8, a build could pack a stale compiled chunk from an older generation of
auth-servicethat had the OAuth client ID and secret baked in as string literals.
The mechanism:dotenvloaded.envintoprocess.envat build time and the bundler
folded those reads into literals — and becausedist-electron/was never cleaned
between builds, such a chunk could outlive the source change that removed it and end
up insideapp.asar. The source tree never contained a secret; only the compiled
artifact did. Two changes close this off:prebuildnow wipesdist/anddist-electron/before every build, so no artifact
can outlive its generation.- A new gate,
scripts/check-bundle-secrets.mjs, scans the compiled output for
credential-shaped strings (OAuth secrets, client IDs, API keys, private-key blocks)
and fails the build beforeelectron-builderpacks an asar. Standalone:
npm run secrets:check.
Changed
- The local database drops an orphaned
googleApiKeyrow (migration v3 → v4). It came
from an abandoned Google Picker design and was hand-written into some installs, but no
code path ever read it — it is not part of the app config schema. - The README now states plainly that GoWorks was built with AI assistance, and asks you
to run your own review before pointing it at a production tenant.
Verifying this build
Every installer below was produced by a build that cleans dist/ and dist-electron/
first and then refuses to package if the compiled output contains anything
credential-shaped. You can run the same check against your own build:
npm run build # prebuild clean → vite → secret gate → electron-builder
npm run secrets:check # the gate on its ownInstall
