Direzione di ricerca

Start by reading the repository's existing GitHub Actions workflows and identify the CI workflow for the default branch. Add a separate workflow that runs OpenSSF Scorecard on pushes and weekly, then uploads its report as an artifact; check the Actions run and artifact to confirm completion. The issue does not name workflow files or tests.

Descrizione

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The repository currently lacks an automated assessment of its security posture against industry-recognized open-source security best practices. While the project may include testing and CI workflows, there is no continuous evaluation of repository security, dependency management, workflow security, or software supply chain practices. This makes it difficult to identify areas where the repository can improve its overall security posture.

Proposed Solution

Integrate the OpenSSF Scorecard GitHub Action into the existing CI pipeline.

The workflow should:

  • Run automatically on pushes to the default branch.
  • Execute on a scheduled basis (e.g., weekly).
  • Analyze the repository against OpenSSF security best practices.
  • Generate a detailed security score and recommendations.
  • Upload the generated report as a GitHub Actions artifact.
  • Optionally publish results to GitHub's Security tab where supported.
  • Ensure the workflow runs independently without disrupting existing CI jobs.

This will provide maintainers with continuous insights into the repository's security posture and highlight actionable improvements.

Alternatives Considered

An alternative is to manually review the repository against OpenSSF recommendations or use external security assessment tools periodically. However, this approach is time-consuming, inconsistent, and may fail to detect newly introduced security weaknesses. Automating the assessment ensures continuous monitoring with minimal maintenance effort.

Additional Context

OpenSSF Scorecard is a widely adopted DevSecOps tool that evaluates repositories against established security best practices. Integrating it into the CI pipeline will strengthen software supply chain security, improve repository transparency, and help maintainers proactively address potential security gaps as the project evolves.
