Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. The dispatch clone now authenticates with a vault-backed PAT, so a mis-scoped or mishandled token could grant repository access or expose credential-backed data beyond the intended read-only scope. Reverting restores the prior token source, but any access or secret exposure that occurred before the revert would not be undone.

Suggestion: The comment calls this a read-only PAT, but classic PAT repository access is write-capable. A leaked token therefore permits repository modification, not only cloning. [comment mismatch]

RWX git/clone 2.1.0 github-token fine-grained PAT Contents read documentation
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The RWX git/clone package (version 2.1.0) is designed to clone repositories over HTTPS using a github-token [1][2][3]. When using RWX with GitHub, the platform automatically provides a GitHub token via the expression ${{ github.token }} [1][3]. This token is typically sufficient for cloning repositories that the RWX GitHub App has access to [2][3]. Regarding the use of a GitHub fine-grained Personal Access Token (PAT) with git/clone: 1. Mechanism: While the github-token parameter in the git/clone task is explicitly intended for the token provided by the RWX GitHub integration, it accepts a string value [1]. If you choose to provide a manual credential such as a fine-grained PAT, you would generally pass it to the github-token field (e.g., github-token: ${{ secrets.YOUR_PAT_SECRET }}) [1][2]. 2. Requirements for Fine-Grained PATs: To clone a repository using a fine-grained PAT, the token must be granted at least the "Contents: Read-only" permission for the target repository [4]. 3. Important Note: Because fine-grained PATs are scoped to specific repositories, you must ensure that the PAT is configured with access to the specific repository you are cloning [4]. If your workflow relies on the automatic ${{ github.token }}, ensure the RWX GitHub App has the necessary repository access in your GitHub organization settings [3]. For further implementation details or to debug specific authentication issues, you can refer to the official RWX git/clone documentation [1][2].

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
Use a repository-scoped fine-grained PAT for GH_READ_TOKEN.
This workflow only clones wave-av/cli. A fine-grained PAT limited to that repository with Contents: read is sufficient. A classic PAT with repo scope can access all private repositories available to its owner. Update the setup guidance accordingly.
