Improves the OpenSSF scorecard on the checks that can be fixed from the repo, keeping each change as small as the check allows.

Changes

  • Fuzzing (0→10): cargo-fuzz targets for the two hand-written untrusted-input parsers in SECURITY.md's scope — svg::convert_foreign_objects and geometry::png_dimensions — plus a weekly workflow that runs them, uploads crash reproducers, and files an issue on failure. Scorecard detects libfuzzer_sys in-tree, so no OSS-Fuzz registration is involved. Required splitting a library crate out of the binary (mechanical; modules never referenced main.rs).
  • SAST (0→10 as analyzed commits accumulate): CodeQL workflow. Rust analysis is GA since CodeQL 2.23.3; build-mode: none is the only supported mode.
  • Signed-Releases (0→10 as releases ship): the release workflow already attests provenance but only into GitHub's attestation store, which the check never sees; the Sigstore bundle is now also published as a release asset (kittyview-provenance.intoto.jsonl), and SECURITY.md documents online and offline verification with gh attestation verify.
  • Token-Permissions (9→10): release.yml now declares explicit empty top-level permissions; job-level grants unchanged.

Security review

The workflows (existing + new) were audited manually and with zizmor 1.29 (clean at default severity): no dangerous triggers, no untrusted interpolation in run: blocks of PR-triggered workflows, no cache usage, credentials never persisted, and every action SHA pin verified against its upstream tag (the dtolnay pin verified by branch ancestry).

Not addressed here: CII-Best-Practices needs a bestpractices.dev registration, and Signed-Releases only reaches 10 once the last five releases carry provenance assets — existing releases can be backfilled from the attestation store with gh attestation download + gh release upload.

The modules only ever referenced each other, never main.rs, so the
split is mechanical: lib.rs re-exports them and main.rs imports them
through the crate. Needed so fuzz targets (and future integration
tests) can link against the internals.

Fuzz the two hand-written untrusted-input parsers named in
SECURITY.md's scope: svg::convert_foreign_objects (XML/foreignObject
preprocessing) and geometry::png_dimensions (IHDR parsing). The
workflow runs each target weekly, uploads crash reproducers, and files
an issue on failure -- scheduled-run notifications otherwise reach only
whoever last edited the cron line.

Rust analysis is GA since CodeQL 2.23.3; build-mode none is the only
supported mode for Rust.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The attest step already records provenance in GitHub's attestation
store, but nothing about a release showed it. Copy the Sigstore bundle
into the release assets so artifacts can be verified offline, and
document both verification paths in SECURITY.md. Also make the
workflow's empty top-level permissions explicit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a Rust library entry point, two fuzz targets, scheduled fuzzing and CodeQL workflows, stricter release permissions, published provenance, and updated release artifact verification instructions.

Changes

Security tooling and release verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Library entry point and fuzz targets
src/lib.rs, src/main.rs, fuzz/Cargo.toml, fuzz/fuzz_targets/*
The internal modules are exposed through the kittyview library crate. The fuzz package targets SVG foreign-object conversion and PNG dimension parsing.
Scheduled fuzz execution
.github/workflows/fuzz.yml, .gitignore
The workflow runs all fuzz targets on a schedule or manual dispatch, uploads failure artifacts, and updates or creates a failure issue. Fuzz output directories are ignored.
CodeQL and release provenance
.github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml, SECURITY.md, CHANGELOG.md
The repository adds scheduled Rust CodeQL analysis, applies an empty workflow-level permission baseline, publishes the attestation bundle, and documents tag- and runner-constrained release verification with a trusted root bundle. The changelog records these changes.

You are seeing this message because GitHub Code Scanning has recently been set up for this repository, or this pull request contains the workflow file for the Code Scanning tool.

What Enabling Code Scanning Means:

  • The 'Security' tab will display more code scanning analysis results (e.g., for the default branch).
  • Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results.
  • You will be able to see the analysis results for the pull request's branch on this overview once the scans have completed and the checks have passed.

For more information about GitHub Code Scanning, check out the documentation.

In @.github/workflows/fuzz.yml:
- Line 30: Pin the cargo-fuzz installation in the workflow by defining a fixed
CARGO_FUZZ_VERSION and passing it to the existing cargo install cargo-fuzz
command with --version; retain --locked and require deliberate version updates.

In `@SECURITY.md`:
- Around line 28-34: Update the provenance verification documentation to show
the online command for saving the trusted root, then include the resulting
trusted-root file via --custom-trusted-root in the offline gh attestation verify
example. Preserve the existing bundle-based verification flow and repository
references.
- Line 25: Update both gh attestation verify commands in SECURITY.md to include
--source-ref refs/tags/vX.Y.Z and --deny-self-hosted-runners, preserving the
existing repository and artifact arguments while enforcing release-tag
verification.

An incompatible new release would otherwise break the weekly run
before it fuzzes anything.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The README's verification commands already pin --source-ref and deny
self-hosted runners; SECURITY.md documented the weak form, which any
build from any ref satisfies. Also document the trusted root needed
for fully offline verification.
