Add a nightly NuGet audit run so new advisories surface on their own schedule - #21
Merged
Conversation
…schedule NuGet audit validates against the live advisory database at restore time, so a green check can silently go stale: GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284 was published hours after PR #17's CI passed and turned master red the moment the stale-green PR merged. A scheduled restore on master catches new advisories within a day and attributes the failure to the advisory instead of to the next unrelated merge.

Why
NuGet audit validates against the live advisory database at restore time, so a green CI check can silently go stale with zero code change. This is exactly how master went red on 2026-08-13: GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284 was published hours after #17's CI had passed, and the stale-green merge carried the failure onto master, attributed to an unrelated OS-matrix change.
A scheduled restore on master catches new advisories within a day and attributes the failure to the advisory itself instead of to whoever happens to merge next. Together with the ruleset's new
strictrequired-status-checks policy (which blocks stale-green merges at the button), this closes both halves of the window.What
One workflow, one job, three steps — checkout, setup .NET,
dotnet restore:TreatWarningsAsErrorsinDirectory.Build.propsalready escalates NU19xx audit warnings to restore failures, so no build or tests are needed — the CI matrix covers those on every push.schedule(03:00 UTC) +workflow_dispatchonly — never reports on PRs, so it stays outside the required-checks list, same as Docs.A red run notifies the repo owner by email via GitHub's default workflow-failure notification.
