CODEOWNERS or review assignment

Covers 5 controls
  • CODEOWNERS or review assignment
  • CODEOWNERS or OWNERS file
  • Maintainer roster
  • Review of high-risk dependency changes
  • Migrations reviewed

What Verify read

No tree evidence for owners.

Risk: With no ownership file, review lands on whoever is available rather than whoever understands the code.

Last-push approval required

Covers 1 control
  • Last-push approval required

What Verify read

Last-push approval: false

Risk: A final push after approval can introduce anything, and the merge still shows a green review.

Workflow permissions least-privilege

Covers 1 control
  • Workflow permissions least-privilege

What Verify read

One or more workflows do not declare a permissions block.

Risk: Broadly permissioned workflows hand a write token to every action they call, including third-party code.

Method

How Verify works

01

Read

Verify reads the repository at a pinned commit: settings, rulesets, workflows, and files.

02

Judge

Each control is checked against a written expectation. Same inspector, same criteria, every repository.

03

Prove

Every result shows the evidence Verify read. Assessments re-run daily, and changes are logged.
