Hey! This issue/PR has been idle for quite some time. Do you plan on considering this suggestion? If not, I'll probably wait up to 2 more months and close the issue.
Thanks!
Keeping it around as a TODO item. I close the ones I don't plan to do.
Hey, I'm Diogo and I've raised the issues #357 and #809 contributing with some security enhancements. I'll happily continue contributing with such improvements (it's literally my job, see my profile), but this time I come to suggest the tool that I used myself to find those security issues.
I'd like to suggest that the project add the OpenSSF Scorecard Action. The OpenSSF Scorecard uses GitHub's public API to gather public informations about your project and runs a sort of "meta-analysis" of the project's security posture. The Action then populates the project's Security Panel with possible improvements to its security posture. It's specially helpful to ensure you won't regress on the security measures you have already adopted. Additionally, the tool integrates with the OSV Scanner, which evaluates a project's transitive dependencies looking for known vulnerabilities.
When working on the Security enhancements pointed by Scorecard, you're also able to apply for the OpenSSF's Secure Open Source Rewards program, which financially rewards developers for improving the security of important open source projects
This tool is developed by the OpenSSF in partnership with GitHub and it's already been adopted by 1800+ projects, including Tensorflow, PyTorch, Angular, and Flutter.
You can have a preview of the analysis here. Note that the 0/10 score on Token-Permissions should have been fixed by my issue #764. Currently it's only 0/10 because the release.yml was changed to have a
contents: write
permission at top-level (and I saw that this change as motivated by a typo on my original PR, sorry about that ><), but that can be seen as a False-Positive, as Scorecard have already documented it on this issue.If you're interested, let me know and I'll send a PR!
