Description

Hey, it's Pedro (see #1567) and I'm back with another security suggestion.

I detected that issue (and my colleague Joyce detected #1508) by using Scorecard, a tool that scans projects for potential improvements to their security posture.

It is also available as the Scorecard Action, which continuously monitors the repository and adds security suggestions directly to the project's Security Panel. In doing so, it can let you know if something accidentally lowers the project's security posture.

I'll send a PR along with this issue adding the Action for you to take a look.
