Jewell" <6759885+hyperpolymath@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 13:07:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Extend WH002 to catch TokenPermissionsID issues (top-level contents: write) This change extends the existing WH002 excessive permissions rule to detect workflows with top-level 'contents: write' or 'write-all: true' permissions, which are flagged by GitHub Scorecard's TokenPermissionsID check. The rule now catches: - permissions: write-all - permissions: with contents: write - permissions: with write-all: true This addresses the TokenPermissionsID alerts that plague many repos in the hyperpolymath and metadatastician estates. The fix pattern is to use 'contents: read' at the top level and add job-level 'contents: write' only to jobs that need it. Generated by Mistral Vibe.
