Mathieu Fenniak bdd2a1def7 fix: prevent actions workflows from generating OIDC tokens if not authorized in workflow (#12030)
When using Forgejo's `enable-openid-connect: true`, a URL is generated into the actions under `$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL` that can be used to generate a JWT for accessing third-party resources authenticated as the action executing in this server on this repo.  However, the endpoint of that url (`.../idtoken`) had unintentionally missed a `return` on an internal server error, and was missing a check that the action actually had `enable-openid-connect: true` on it.  As a result, it was possible to generate a JWT for accessing third-party resources from an action that wasn't expected to be generating JWTs.

In terms of real-world vulnerability, the most likely risk is that the JWT could be generated from a forked pull request.  By not using the `$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL` and instead going directly to the `.../idtoken` endpoint, and parsing a generated JWT response that will be mixed with an error response, it's possible to retrieve a JWT in a forked pull request.  It would require a slight misconfiguration on a third-party system to allow that JWT access, but it's a plausible risk.

As this is a feature in Forgejo 15 that hasn't been released, it will be fixed in-public.
