chore: raise the OpenSSF Scorecard from 6.5 (advisory sweep + signed release SBOMs) - #518
Conversation
`pnpm audit --audit-level=high` never blocked moderate or low advisories, so seven of them accumulated unnoticed until the OpenSSF Scorecard run scored Vulnerabilities 0/10 against ten open OSV findings (#404). Force patched versions of the four affected packages. All four were published in July, well past the three-day cooldown, so no minimumReleaseAgeExclude entry is needed: body-parser@1 1.20.5 -> 1.20.6 GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6 postcss@8 8.5.21 -> 8.5.26 GHSA-fxqj-rqcc-2cmp undici@6 6.27.0 -> 6.28.0 GHSA-8xcm-r25x-g524, GHSA-m8rv-5g2x-5cg5, GHSA-v3r7-h72x-cjcm webpack-dev-server 5.2.5 -> 5.2.6 GHSA-f5vj-f2hx-8m93, GHSA-m28w-2pqf-7qgj Two of these were corrections rather than additions. The postcss selector was `postcss@<8.5.18`, which the tree had already floated past, so it matched nothing and the entry had quietly stopped being load-bearing. It is now scoped to the 8.x major, since a version-bounded selector expires itself the moment the ecosystem passes it. The undici entry asserted that the 6.x copy under @actions/http-client was unaffected, which was true of the advisory it was written for and false of these three. That leaves three findings, none fixable here. image-size has no patched release upstream and is already in ignoreGhsas; uuid's only fix is a cross-major 8 to 11 jump through storybook and sockjs dev tooling.
Scorecard reads GitHub release assets and nothing else when it scores Signed-Releases. The npm provenance we publish is invisible to it, so releases that carried two SBOMs and no recognised signature scored 0 (#404). Add a `sign-sbom` job that keyless-signs both SBOMs with cosign and attaches the bundles to the release. Three jobs rather than two, because the existing split is load-bearing: generation runs `pnpm install` and third-party actions so it must not hold a credential, and upload holds `contents: write` so it must not gain new third-party code. Signing needs `id-token: write` and nothing else, so it goes in its own job and both guarantees survive. The residual risk is recorded in the workflow comment as well as here. `id-token: write` lets code in that job mint an OIDC token asserting this repository's identity, which Fulcio exchanges for a signing certificate. The job holds no repository write token, so the bound is signing something as bestax rather than changing anything in the repo. The cosign action is SHA-pinned and the binary is pinned to v3.0.6 explicitly, so a future SHA bump cannot swap the signing binary as a side effect. That raises the cost of an attack; it does not prove one impossible. One bundle per SBOM rather than a bare .sig: cosign v3 removed --output-signature, and `.sigstore.json` is both what `cosign verify-blob --bundle` consumes and a member of signatureExtensions in scorecard v5.5.0, which is the version scorecard-action v2.4.4 actually vendors. Worth setting expectations: Signed-Releases averages over the five most recent releases, so the first signed release moves the overall score by roughly 0.15 and the full gain only arrives once five signed releases exist.

Deep review — 0 blocking · 1 advisory
| # | Severity | Area | Finding | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🔵 Advisory | Robustness | SBOM release-asset attachment is now gated on signing succeeding: attach-sbom gained needs: sign-sbom, so a transient Sigstore/Fulcio outage during a release leaves the release with no SBOM assets at all (not even unsigned ones), where previously they attached independently. Recoverable by re-running the failed jobs; all-or-nothing, so no partial state. |
.github/workflows/supply-chain.yml:151 |
Overall: This is a sound, carefully-reasoned change and its central technical claim holds up under verification — I independently confirmed that scorecard v5.5.0's releasesAreSigned probe lists .sigstore.json in signatureExtensions (matched via strings.HasSuffix, so bestax-sbom.spdx.json.sigstore.json counts), that scorecard-action@v2.4.4's go.mod pins scorecard/v5 v5.5.0, and that the cosign-installer SHA 6f9f177… really is v4.1.2 whose commit bumps cosign to 3.0.6. The four dependency overrides resolve cleanly in the lockfile (body-parser 1.20.6, postcss 8.5.26, undici 6.28.0, webpack-dev-server 5.2.6), each satisfies its advisory floor, and every new/changed override carries the bestax:review 2026-11-13 marker so bypass-expiry stays green. The riskiest part is the new id-token: write job, but it holds no contents: write token and the signing binary is doubly pinned — the human should focus review attention there and on the attach/sign coupling in the advisory.
Residual risk:
- Signature not recognized by Scorecard — refuted:
.sigstore.jsonis explicitly in v5.5.0'ssignatureExtensionsand the vendored version chain (action v2.4.4 → scorecard v5.5.0) is confirmed, so the bundle suffix will register. - Overrides don't actually take — refuted: the lockfile resolves all four target versions and no stray sub-floor copies of these packages remain in the tree.
- Same silent-accumulation recurs — real but out of scope and on the record: the root cause (the CI gate is
pnpm audit --audit-level=high, so moderate/low advisories never block) is unchanged by this PR, so the next batch of sub-high advisories will again only surface via the weekly Scorecard run rather than on the PR that introduces them. This is a deliberate tradeoff (a moderate gate would red PRs on every fresh advisory), and the PR body already documents it.
🏄 Chill, well-documented set — the SBOM signing wave actually lands where Scorecard can see it, and the advisory sweep is patched clean. Only ripple is that a Sigstore outage now takes the SBOM assets down with it, but you can just paddle back and re-run the job. Good to send it. 🌊
…upload Three review fixes. The webpack-dev-server override was unscoped, with a comment claiming the `<6` right-hand bound made that deliberate. The reasoning was backwards: that bound only ever protected consumers already on 5.x, and an unscoped key would also capture a parent that legitimately moves to 6.x and force it back onto the 5 line. Scoped to `webpack-dev-server@5` like every other entry in the file. Resolution is unchanged at 5.2.6; the only lockfile delta is the key itself. Added harden-runner to the new sign-sbom job. Rule 10 in .github/CLAUDE.md says new jobs ship at `egress-policy: block`, and the three sibling jobs here lack it only because they predate the rule (2026-07-29 against 2026-08-02), so they are covered by its "existing live job" clause and this one is not. Two caveats sit in the workflow comment rather than glossed: block does not enforce today (#487), and the endpoint list is derived from cosign and Sigstore documentation rather than a measured run, because the job only fires on `release: published` and cannot be exercised from a PR. Decoupled the SBOM upload from signing. `needs: sign-sbom` meant a transient Fulcio or Rekor outage would leave a release with no SBOM assets at all, which is worse than the unsigned pair we shipped before signing existed. The upload job now requires only `sbom`, attaches the SBOMs first and on their own, then adds whatever bundles exist and warns when there are none.

Deep review advisory (SBOM assets gated on signing) addressed in b3a5201. Good catch, and worth fixing rather than accepting:
if: >
!cancelled() && github.event_name == 'release' &&
needs.sbom.result == 'success'

timestamp.sigstore.dev:443is also required. Cosign v3.0.6 enables the TUF signing config by default, and Sigstore's current config selectshttps://timestamp.sigstore.dev/api/v1/timestampfor every bundle. Unlike the untrusted triggers in #487, this job runs onrelease, so harden-runner can arm real block mode; the missing host will make bothsign-blobcalls fail and leave the release unsigned.
fulcio.sigstore.dev:443
rekor.sigstore.dev:443
tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev:443
Copilot suppressed a comment on the previous commit that turned out to be the most important one on the PR, in both halves. First: `timestamp.sigstore.dev:443` was missing. cosign v3.0.6 has `--use-signing-config` on by default, and Sigstore's published signing config selects a timestamp authority for every bundle, alongside fulcio and rekor. Verified against targets/signing_config.v0.2.json in sigstore/root-signing rather than taken on trust. Second, and worse: the comment I wrote claimed block does not enforce here, citing #487. That is wrong for this job and it inverted the risk. #487's root cause is GitHub making the Actions cache read-only for untrusted triggers, namely `issues`, `issue_comment` and `pull_request`. This job runs on `release`, which is not in that class, so the cache dance succeeds and block genuinely arms. This looks like the only enforcing egress policy in the repository, which makes the allowlist load-bearing rather than aspirational, and makes a missing host cost a real signature. The comment now says that plainly, warns against copying the "it degrades anyway" reasoning out of the AI workflows, and records that `oauth2.sigstore.dev` is omitted deliberately because the job uses the ambient Actions credential rather than the interactive OIDC flow. The blast radius was already bounded by the previous commit decoupling attach-sbom from signing: a wrong list means SBOMs attach unsigned with a warning, not a failed release. Widen the list from the first real run's StepSecurity report rather than by guessing at it again.

Both halves of the suppressed Copilot comment on 1. Missing TSA endpoint.
2. My egress comment was wrong, and it inverted the risk. I wrote that That appears to make this the only enforcing egress policy in the repository, which flips the allowlist from aspirational to load-bearing. The comment now says so explicitly and warns against copying the "it degrades anyway" reasoning out of the AI workflows into this file — that reasoning is load-bearing there and false here. Worth noting the blast radius was already bounded by the deep review's advisory fix in b3a5201: since Since this job cannot be exercised from a PR, the first release after merge is the real test. |

The 5.11.1 release landed on main while this PR was open, so the committed index's `generatedFrom.version` went stale against the merge commit CI builds and `gen:mcp:check` went red on a branch that does not touch bestax-mcp. Merged main and re-ran `pnpm gen`. The whole diff is the one version field; no component or skill data moved.

- This claims egress enforcement before it has been verified, while the repository security contract explicitly says not to cite
blockas a control until #487 closes and states that nothing currently enforces egress (.github/CLAUDE.md:204-216). The endpoint list is also documented below as unmeasured. Keep the requiredblockconfiguration, but remove the assertion that it "actually arms" until a release run confirms the effective policy and #487 records that result.
# `release`, which is not in that class, so the cache dance succeeds and
# block actually arms. This is, as far as we know, the only enforcing

.github/workflows/supply-chain.yml:238
- On a rerun after a previously successful signing run, this unsigned path leaves the old
.sigstore.jsonrelease assets in place while--clobberabove replaces both SBOMs. Since generated SBOMs include fresh metadata, those retained bundles can no longer verify the published bytes, yet Scorecard will still detect their filenames as signatures. Remove existing SBOM signature assets before replacing the SBOMs, then upload the newly generated bundles only when present.

The step runs under

… failure CodeRabbit's full review of the current head caught an inconsistency in the sign-sbom job. The signing loop runs under `bash -e`, so if the first cosign call succeeds and the second fails, the step fails and the upload step is skipped by default, discarding the bundle the first call had already written. The release then attaches zero signatures instead of one. That is a worse outcome than the failure warrants, and it contradicts the model the rest of this workflow follows: attach-sbom was deliberately decoupled from signing so an outage degrades to unsigned SBOMs rather than no SBOMs. The sign job was still all-or-nothing. Added `if: !cancelled()` to the upload step so a partial run publishes what it produced. The job still fails and the failure is still reported; this changes what survives it, not whether it is visible. It also matters for the thing this PR is for: scorecard's releasesAreSigned counts a release as signed when any asset carries a recognised suffix, so one bundle scores where zero does not. Total-failure behaviour is unchanged: upload-artifact defaults to `if-no-files-found: warn`, so nothing is uploaded and attach-sbom's nullglob branch emits the same ::warning:: about unsigned SBOMs as before.

Applied in 18210f5. Good catch, and it is a better finding than "trivial" suggests. The inconsistency is real: - name: Upload signature bundles
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}Worth adding why this is more than tidiness for this particular PR: scorecard's Behaviour I checked before applying, so the degradation story stays intact end to end:

Closes the last open acceptance criterion on #404.
The workflow and badge from that issue already shipped (#406, #407). What was
left was the criterion that said to review the real score before advertising it,
and to fix the cheap checks if it landed materially below ~7. It landed at
6.5, and the badge was already public, so this does the fixing half.
Measured breakdown, since the issue's estimate was optimistic
Two corrections to the issue worth recording:
Signed-Releaseswas predicted to pass and scores 0. Scorecard readsGitHub release assets only. The npm provenance we publish is real and
verifiable, and Scorecard cannot see it.
Vulnerabilitiesscoring 0 is a gate artifact, not new decay. The CI gateis
pnpm audit --audit-level=high, so moderate and low advisories neverblocked anything and seven accumulated quietly. Scorecard counts all severities.
Practical ceiling is about 8.5, not 10: Code-Review, Fuzzing and
CII-Best-Practices are 15 weight points that will not move for a solo-maintainer
component library. Worth writing down so nobody chases the last 1.5.
Changes
1. Dependency sweep. Four overrides, all fix versions published in July and
well past the three-day cooldown, so no
minimumReleaseAgeExcludeentry:body-parser@1postcss@8undici@6webpack-dev-serverTwo of those were corrections rather than additions:
postcss@<8.5.18, which the tree had already floatedpast, so it matched nothing and the entry had quietly stopped being
load-bearing. Now scoped to the 8.x major, because a version-bounded selector
expires itself the moment the ecosystem passes it.
@actions/http-clientwasunaffected. True of the advisory it was written for, false of these three.
Leaves three findings, none fixable here:
image-sizehas no patched releaseupstream (already in
ignoreGhsas) anduuid's only fix is a cross-major 8 to11 jump through storybook and sockjs dev tooling.
2. Sign the release SBOMs. New
sign-sbomjob insupply-chain.ymlthatkeyless-signs both SBOMs with cosign and attaches the bundles to the release.
Security notes for the workflow change
Per
.github/CLAUDE.mdthis is a middle-row change (new job, newpermissions:, new action SHA), so the reasoning is on the record:load-bearing. Generation runs
pnpm installand third-party actions, so itmust not hold a credential. Upload holds
contents: write, so it must notgain new third-party code. Signing needs
id-token: writeand nothing else,so it gets its own job and both guarantees survive.
attach-sbomis untouchedapart from its
needsand its upload list, so its "installs nothing and runsno third-party code" comment stays true.
id-token: writelets code in the newjob mint an OIDC token asserting this repository's identity, which Fulcio
exchanges for a short-lived signing certificate. That job holds no repository
write token, so the bound is signing something as bestax rather than changing
anything here. The action is SHA-pinned and the cosign binary is pinned to
v3.0.6 explicitly so a future SHA bump cannot swap the signing binary as a
side effect. That raises cost; it is not a proof.
reaches a comment body, and the new action introduces no SHA drift
(
sigstore/cosign-installer@6f9f177# v4.1.2, one pin, truthful comment)..sigstore.jsonwas checked, not assumed. cosign v3 removed--output-signature, leaving--bundle. That suffix is both whatcosign verify-blob --bundleconsumes and a member ofsignatureExtensionsin scorecard v5.5.0, which is the version
scorecard-actionv2.4.4actually vendors.
Expected effect, honestly
The sweep should land at the next weekly run. The signing change will not
move the badge quickly:
Signed-Releasesaverages over the five most recentreleases, so the first signed release is worth roughly +0.15 overall and the
full gain only arrives once five signed releases exist.
