official actions/create-github-app-token v3.3.0 README default permissions permission-* inputs
💡 Result:
Inspection citation: inspection_3a033cf1ff49deb1e2605acaf169b848
In the **official README**, `permission-<permission name>` is an optional input for requesting token permissions. **By default, the token inherits all permissions granted to the app installation.** The README recommends explicitly listing only the permissions needed; for example, `permission-issues: write`. Requested permissions must already be granted to the installation, or token creation fails. ([github.com](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/blob/main/README.md?plain=1))
The README describes the pattern as prefixing a permission key with `permission-` (for example, `pull-requests` → `permission-pull-requests`). It does **not** enumerate every valid permission name in that section. ([github.com](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/blob/main/README.md?plain=1))
**Version caveat:** the source retrieved is the README on `main`, not the `v3.3.0` tag, so it does not establish whether the tagged README is identical. ([github.com](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/blob/main/README.md?plain=1&utm_source=openai))

In **v3.3.0**, the README says that if you don’t specify `permission-*` inputs, the token **inherits all permissions granted to the app installation**. It recommends explicitly listing needed permissions; for example, `permission-issues: write`. The README also warns that requesting a permission the installation lacks causes an error.

Security Misconfiguration
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-250
Restrict the GitHub App token permissions.
When no permission-* inputs are set, actions/create-github-app-token@v3.3.0 inherits all permissions granted to the app installation. The token is passed to semantic-release, which uses @semantic-release/github. Set explicit permission-* inputs for only the permissions required by the configured release plugins, and keep the app installation limited to that same set.
