Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-522 — Insufficiently Protected Credentials

Disable checkout credential persistence in every job.

The workflow runs on pull_request and executes checked-out build code in multiple jobs. Add this option to all six actions/checkout@v6 steps.

Proposed change 
       - uses: actions/checkout@v6
         with:
+          persist-credentials: false
           fetch-depth: 0
           submodules: recursive
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
