If so, I would like to share some recommendations from the Scorecard tool on how to improve the security properties of your repository.\r\n\r\n[Scorecard](https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md) is an automated tool that assesses the security risks of open-source projects through a series of checks. These checks cover three main themes: comprehensive security practices, source code risk assessment, and build process risk assessment. You can use it to run checks on your own code or other projects and obtain scores and risk levels for each check. Each check is scored between 0 and 10, with higher scores indicating higher security levels for open-source software. The overall score is the weighted average of each check's score, also ranging from 0 to 10.\r\n\r\nOur evaluation has identified several areas where UTBotJava could benefit from enhancements:\r\n\r\n[Token-Permissions](https://github.com/UnitTestBot/UTBotJava/pull/2744/commits/c849889917f7f092b8dd7bbab0c33b130de15cd3): It is recommended that the tokenpermissions setting in the workflows be limited to read-only access.\r\nBranch-Protection: We suggest implementing thefollowing measures:\r\nRequire at least one reviewer forapproval before merging (administrators' requirements counttwice)\r\nAdministrators should require pull requests priorto making any code changes\r\nAdministrators should ensure the target branchis up-to-date before merging\r\nAdministrators should require approval of themost recent reviewable push\r\nEnabling [Dependabot ](https://github.com/UnitTestBot/UTBotJava/pull/2744/commits/7bc9a188548df838fd1dcb8640bc022c5e6ea074)in the repository can providewitnesses to potential vulnerabilities.\r\nOpening [CodeQL](https://github.com/UnitTestBot/UTBotJava/pull/2744/commits/d150e7c74247dac43b48b67d26691900e34c3c76) for scanning may identifyadditional issues.\r\nSigned Releases can add an extra layer ofsafeguard against malicious interference.\r\nA clear Security Policy and process forgathering and addressing vulnerability reportswould be beneficial.\r\nBinary Artifacts present in theutbot-junit-contest/src/resources/projectsdirectory may pose a risk.\r\nWe believe these improvements will enhance the overallsecurity posture of the UTBotJava repository. Thank you for consideringour recommendations.\r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\nzoupanpan","author":{"url":"https://github.com/China-zoupanpan","@type":"Person","name":"China-zoupanpan"},"datePublished":"2024-12-11T01:55:58.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/2746/UTBotJava/issues/2746"}
