Research direction

No file or test entry point is named. Start by locating the Rust protocol parsing and deserialization code, then identify suitable fuzz targets and assess continuous OSS-Fuzz integration. Done means fuzzing coverage is added for those paths and the OSS-Fuzz option is evaluated.

Description

P3 T-CI T-security

Context

OpenSSF Scorecard identified several follow-up opportunities while validating #1214.

Follow-up work

  • Pin all GitHub Actions to immutable full commit SHAs, retaining version comments for readability — #1216
  • Pin the commitlint packages installed dynamically in CI — #1217
  • Establish restrictive top-level GITHUB_TOKEN permission defaults — #1218
  • Remove unnecessary contents: write from the coverage job in ci.yml — #1219
  • Tighten release-plz.yml permissions by moving write grants to job scope — #1220
  • Pin the temporary release-plz fork to an immutable revision — #1221
  • Add fuzzing coverage for protocol parsing/deserialization and consider continuous OSS-Fuzz integration.

The linked PRs are intentionally focused so permission and dependency changes can be reviewed independently.
