View Security blast radius

The build job runs Maven plugins with a checkout token that is not restricted.

actions/checkout@v4 stores the job token in the Git configuration unless persist-credentials: false is set. The build job declares no permissions: block, so that token gets the repository default scope. Line 31 runs mvn package, which executes third-party plugins. A compromised plugin can read the persisted token. If the repository default grants write access, the plugin can write to the repository. The dependency-submission step at lines 34-35 runs in the same job after the build.

Declare least-privilege permissions for the build job. Disable credential persistence in checkout. If the dependency-submission step needs write access, move it to a separate job that declares its own permissions.

Review comment at @.github/workflows/maven.yml at line 23:
Restrict permissions for the build job to the minimum required and set checkout’s persist-credentials option to false so Maven plugins cannot access a persisted job token. If the dependency-submission step requires write permissions, move it out of the build job into a separate job with only the permissions it needs.

Use a JDK that supports the project's Java 21 target.

At the reviewed revision, pom.xml Line 82 sets java.version to 21. Lines 183–184 use that value for compiler source and target settings. JDK 17 cannot compile this target, so the Maven build fails before completing the tests or package. Configure a supported JDK instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @.github/workflows/maven.yml at line 27:
Update the Java version configured in the workflow to a JDK that supports the project’s Java 21 target, so Maven can compile and complete the build.

Exclude fork pull requests from dependency submission.

When a fork pull-request build succeeds, this unconditional step attempts dependency submission. Fork tokens normally have read-only permissions, but the submission endpoint requires contents: write. The request therefore fails and makes the build job fail. (docs.github.com)

Run submission in a separate push-only job with explicit contents: write. Keep pull-request builds read-only.

Review comment at @.github/workflows/maven.yml at line 35:
Move the dependency submission action out of the pull-request build job into a separate job that runs only for push events and explicitly grants contents: write. Keep pull-request builds read-only and ensure they do not run dependency submission.
