chore: add OpenSSF Scorecard workflow

[nirmal-joishi-auth0]

✏️ Changes

This pull request adds a security hardening workflow. No functional changes are introduced.

OpenSSF Scorecard

This PR adds .github/workflows/scorecard.yml. It calls ossf/scorecard-action directly (SHA-pinned to v2.4.3) — no composite action wrapper, no cross-org dependency. Results are uploaded to the Code Scanning dashboard via github/codeql-action/upload-sarif.

⚠️ Before merging, review the added .github/workflows/scorecard.yml and make the changes described below, plus any other adjustments your CI environment requires.

Placeholders to fill in before merging

Placeholder	Description
publish_results: false	Default. Set to true to publish results to the public Scorecard API and enable the badge — also requires uncommenting id-token: write in the job permissions. Leave as false to keep results private (the id-token: write line can remain commented out).

🔮 Type of Change

• Standard

🔗 References

This change applies a standard automated security-scanning workflow as part of routine repository hardening.

• I explained why this change is needed.

📖 Documentation

No user-facing changes have been introduced.

• I reflected this change in the (internal and/or user-facing) documentation, or added an explanation for why no documentation update is needed.

🎯 Testing

This change adds a CI workflow only; validated by the workflow running on this PR.

• This change has integration, unit, or performance test coverage, or I explained why not.

🚀 Deployment

• This change can support multiple releases of the code serving traffic at the same time.

The previous remediation PR for this workflow was closed. This is an organization-enforced, mandatory security-hardening workflow, so we've opened a new PR to replace the discarded one. Please review the changes, update them if needed, and merge once all checks are green.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Security
  • Added automated security assessments for updates to the main branch and a weekly schedule.
  • Assessment results are available in GitHub Code Scanning, with downloadable reports retained for five days.

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs Scorecard on pushes to main and weekly. It uploads SARIF results as a retained artifact and to GitHub Code Scanning. Scorecard publication is disabled.

Changes

Scorecard analysis

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Run Scorecard and upload results .github/workflows/scorecard.yml	Adds push and weekly schedule triggers, sets job permissions, runs Scorecard with SARIF output, and uploads the results as an artifact and to GitHub Code Scanning.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: amitsingh05667

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 024c8

Scorecard analysis will not run after pushes to the default branch, so results are refreshed only by the weekly scheduled run. There is no user-facing impact. Changing the branch filter to master fixes this.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 024c8

The workflow keeps public Scorecard publication off but separately uploads the scan results as a downloadable artifact and to Code Scanning. This creates a meaningful exposure of security findings to readers of those destinations. The workflow is limited to the repository’s main branch and does not change application traffic.

Retained concerns

• High · security · observed: Disabling publication to the public Scorecard API does not prevent the new workflow from retaining the generated SARIF as a downloadable artifact or uploading it to Code Scanning. Readers authorized for those separate destinations may obtain the security-scan results; their effective audience depends on repository settings.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The disclosure scope is the analyzed repository’s Scorecard report, not arbitrary pull-request-head code under the declared triggers. The number and identity of potential artifact or dashboard readers cannot be established without repository access settings.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The retained information-disclosure finding concerns the new upload of generated SARIF as a workflow artifact. Someone able to access that artifact can obtain the report even though public Scorecard publication is disabled; external readability for this repository remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Scorecard public-API publication is disabled, but artifact storage and Code Scanning are separate result-distribution boundaries. SHA pinning, restricted triggers, and checkout credential handling constrain other workflow risks without disabling those uploads.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If scan results must remain limited to the intended Code Scanning audience, remove the optional artifact upload and verify Code Scanning visibility and access settings before rollout. Account for reports already uploaded if rolling back.

Run push analysis on the default branch.

The repository’s default branch is master, but this workflow only runs push analysis for main. Change the filter to master; the scheduled run does not replace push-triggered analysis.

Suggested fix

-    branches: [main]
+    branches: [master]
