Potential Security Enhancements for python-pptx
I'm reaching out because I appreciate your work on python-pptx. As open-source security is a growing concern, I'd like to suggest some improvements based on the OpenSSF Scorecard best practices:
Token Permissions: Consider implementing explicit token permissions within the workflow to avoid over-permissioning vulnerabilities. Pinned Dependencies: Using a commit hash instead of @v4 for the third-party library can mitigate breaking changes or vulnerabilities in future updates. Branch Protection & Code Review: Enabling branch protection rules and code reviews can minimize the risk of introducing vulnerabilities. Refer to your repository settings for configuration options. Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Implementing SAST tools can help detect vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle. Dependency Update Tool: Utilizing a dependency update tool ensures your project uses the latest secure library versions. Security Policy: Defining a comprehensive security policy (SECURITY.md) with vulnerability reporting guidelines, coding standards, and response procedures is recommended. For more information on specific checks, see the OpenSSF Scorecard documentation: Link to Documentation
