can writing the credentials to a file like this pose any security issues?

@chamathns ,
Thank you for raising this valid concern. In the context of GitHub Actions workflows, files created within the runner environment – be it a temporary VM or container – are ephemeral. Once the workflow concludes, these files are purged, especially since our current procedure does not involve generating artifacts or saving logs from this step.
So it doesn't pose security issues.
Having said that, taking into account best practices and suggestions such as yours, I have transitioned our methodology from file-based storage to leveraging environment variables for credential management. This strategic shift not only streamlines the process but also amplifies security, effectively circumventing the risks associated with file-based credential storage.
For a detailed overview of the changes implemented, I would direct your attention to commits 1b056c8 and 3db1330.
