Question 780
Another organization uses default broad GITHUB_TOKEN permissions for untrusted pull-request validation. Which unsupported assumption should the engineer challenge FIRST?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A token that expires at the end of a job can still cause harm if it has unnecessary write privileges. This is the relevant unsupported assumption because gITHUB_TOKEN rights should be declared to match each job's actual operations.
Incorrect Answers
This caution is valid in automate security and compliance scanning, but it is not the failure assumption illustrated by this scenario. The directly relevant risk is: A token that expires at the end of a job can still cause harm if it has unnecessary write privileges.
