+## Passing inputs to the script

+Actions expressions are evaluated before the `script` is passed to the action, so the result of any expressions
+*will be evaluated as JavaScript code*.
+
+It's highly recommended to *not* evaluate expressions directly in the `script` to avoid
+[script injections](https://docs.github.com/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#understanding-the-risk-of-script-injections)
+and potential `SyntaxError`s when the expression is not valid JavaScript code (particularly when it comes to improperly escaped strings).
+
+To pass inputs, set `env` vars on the action step and reference them in your script with `process.env`:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/github-script@v7
+  env:
+    TITLE: ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}
