Mitigation

Ensures that only approved users have admin privileges in the GitHub organization, reducing the risk of unauthorized access through compromised credentials.

Description

This rule verifies that only users in the Allowed List have admin privileges in the GitHub organization. It checks the organization's details and compares the value of the organization_details.admins field against the expected value.

The rule iterates over the organization data in the evidence, and if the admins field does not match the desired value, a violation is recorded. This ensures that only users in the Allowed List have admin privileges in the GitHub organization.

Evidence Requirements

• Evidence must be provided by the Scribe Platform's CLI tool through scanning GitHub organization resources.
