fix(ci): pin standards reusables to default-branch HEAD#56hyperpolymath wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
This repo's standards reusable pins are re-pointed at the standards default-branch HEAD, resolved live at sweep time. The prior refs are recorded in the verification line below. Three kinds of drift are repaired together and the body does not claim which one this repo had: an UNREACHABLE sha kills the run at workflow STARTUP, so GitHub reports no check at all rather than a failing one and the gate disappears instead of going red; a FLOATING ref (@main) is unpinned supply chain; a merely STALE but reachable sha silently reintroduces every bug fixed since it. files=6 pins=6 perms=0 permlines=0 from=fad242d35291de1898242d6737ba02b74a59a2f2 target=8f2ee508 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0178nN4Nm3neFRy5K9StZKnB

Add the pull_request trigger.
.github/workflows/scorecard.yml currently triggers only on branch_protection_rule and schedule. The reusable workflow's pull-request job therefore never runs. Add pull_request: under on. The caller grants security-events: write, so SARIF upload is permitted.

@hyperpolymath, I will add the pull_request trigger to .github/workflows/scorecard.yml. This change will preserve the existing triggers and permissions.
- Add
pull_request:underonin.github/workflows/scorecard.yml. - Preserve
branch_protection_rule,schedule, reusable-workflow pin, and permissions. - Validate the resulting GitHub Actions YAML structure.

GitHub Actions reusable workflows permissions caller workflow called workflow permissions can only be downgraded official documentation
💡 Result:
Yes, official GitHub Actions documentation confirms that GITHUB_TOKEN permissions passed from a caller workflow to a reusable (called) workflow can only be downgraded, not elevated [1][2][3][4]. If a called workflow attempts to request higher permissions than those granted by the caller, it will not succeed [5]. Effectively, the permissions defined in the caller workflow act as a ceiling for the called workflow [5]. In a chain of nested reusable workflows (e.g., A -> B -> C), the permissions must remain the same or become more restrictive throughout the entire chain [6][1][3]. Key points regarding these permissions include: - Default Behavior: If the jobs.<job_id>.permissions key is not specified in the calling job, the called workflow uses the default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions [1][2][4]. - Security Ceiling: Because the called workflow cannot elevate permissions beyond what the caller provides, the caller must explicitly grant any necessary higher-level permissions if the called workflow requires them [5]. - Nested Workflows: The rule applies to the entire chain of nested workflows. For instance, if workflow A grants read access, workflows B and C cannot upgrade to write access [1][2][3]. - OIDC Tokens: Specifically for OpenID Connect (OIDC), if a called workflow requires an OIDC token, the id-token: write permission must be explicitly set at the caller workflow level [7]. Failure to adhere to these constraints, such as a called workflow requiring more permissions than the caller provides, can result in errors, sometimes manifesting as a startup_failure [5].

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
Align the caller permissions with the reusable workflow.
The current called jobs declare only contents: read, but the caller still sets a broader permission ceiling. Remove pull-requests: write and actions: read, then update Lines 18–20.

@hyperpolymath, the reusable workflow requires only contents: read.
- Remove
pull-requests: writefrom thescanjob. - Remove
actions: readfrom thescanjob. - Replace the obsolete permission comment with a comment that describes the minimal permission requirement.

Re-points this repo's
hyperpolymath/standardsreusable-workflow pins at the standards default-branch HEAD,8f2ee50841e216cd8c192eeb68953118190f105c.Why this is not a routine version bump.
uses: org/repo/.github/workflows/x.yml@<ref>is resolved at workflow startup, so a bad ref is not a failing job — it is no job at all. This campaign repairs three kinds of drift and does not assume which one this repo had:gh pr checkssimply lists fewer rows. A repo in this state looks greener than one with working gates;@mainruns, but unpinned — the supply-chain property the estate pins for is absent;The refs this repo was actually pinned to, before this PR:
fad242d35291de1898242d6737ba02b74a59a2f2.Expect this PR to surface failures that main does not show. Those failures are revealed, not introduced — they are the gates resuming work after being silently absent. The honest comparison is the set of check names emitted here versus on
main, not pass/fail counts. On the canary (hyperpolymath/empty-linter#79) the governance suite was absent on main and emitted 25 checks once repaired.The target is default-branch HEAD resolved at sweep time, never a sha copied from a plan: a reachable but non-HEAD sha silently reintroduces every bug fixed since it.
