-- [Describe GitHub Advanced Security Best Practices]

What kind of repository permissions do you need to request a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identification number for a security advisory?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Requesting a CVE ID for a security advisory in a GitHub repository requires Admin permissions. This level of access is necessary because it involves managing sensitive security information and coordinating with external entities to assign a CVE, which is a formal process that can impact the public perception and security posture of the project.

I thought "Write" permissions were enough for most tasks, but this seems like it requires a higher level.

I’m leaning towards "Admin" as the right answer, but I could see "Triage" being relevant too. It’s a bit confusing.

I practiced a similar question about repository roles, and I feel like "Maintain" might be too low for this task.

I think I remember that you need admin permissions to request a CVE number, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The correct answer is option B, "Admin" permissions are required to request a CVE for a security advisory on GitHub.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on my understanding, the "Admin" permission is what's needed to request a CVE identification number for a security advisory.

D) Write seems like the right answer to me. You'd need write access to the repository to submit a security advisory, right?

I think the answer is B) Admin. That makes sense since you need higher-level permissions to request a CVE ID for a security advisory.
