Hi @dependabot[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a redhat-developer member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Bumping checkout to v7 should not break fork pull requests, since no restricted triggers are used. Consider disabling persisted credentials on the checkout steps and declaring read-only token permissions, but these are bounded hardening follow-ups.

Declare read-only token permissions.

The workflow has no permissions block, so GITHUB_TOKEN permissions inherit repository or organization defaults. These jobs only check out source and run checks. Set workflow- or job-level permissions to contents: read.

Disable persisted credentials in the code-generation checkouts.

actions/checkout persists GITHUB_TOKEN in .git/config by default. These jobs run repository-controlled commands (go mod tidy, make bundle, make generate, make manifests, make gosec, make lint). A pull request from a fork can change those commands and read the persisted token. None of these steps need the token, so disable persistence in all three checkout steps:

Disable persisted credentials on the E2E checkout.

kind-ci-automation.yaml runs this job on pull_request, so the job checks out and builds pull request code, including code from forks. actions/checkout persists GITHUB_TOKEN to .git/config by default. Later steps run repository-controlled commands (make docker-build, make deploy, make e2e-xks-tests-...), and that code can read the persisted token. The workflow grants only contents: read, which limits the impact. No later step in this job uses authenticated Git.

Set persist-credentials: false on this checkout:
