Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Credential Leak: By default, the actions/checkout step persists the GITHUB_TOKEN in the local .git directory, making it accessible to subsequent steps, untrusted build scripts, or compromised external dependencies. Disabling this persistence is critical for mitigating token theft.

Privilege Escalation: Workflows running with default broad permissions run the risk of serious privilege escalation if an attacker compromises a run. Restricting the GITHUB_TOKEN explicitly to read-only scopes minimizes the impact of potential workflow injections.
