Authorization Bypass
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization
Gate repository-level gh operations with has_repo_access.
main() does not call has_repo_access() before resolve_pr(), fetch_checks(), or the log-fetching paths. Call it after ensure_gh_available() and return a failure before resolve_pr() when access is absent.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Fail closed on unsupported permission values. A successful gh command can return null for viewerPermission, and the current predicate accepts it because it is non-empty and not "NONE". Return True only for READ, TRIAGE, WRITE, MAINTAIN, and ADMIN. Add regression tests for null and unknown values.

V-003agents/testing-agent/skills/local/plugin-provided/openai-marketplace/github/skills/gh-fix-ci/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py:79Description: Agent skills execute GitHub CLI commands with repository-level permissions but lack fine-grained authorization checks. The scripts process PR data and execute 'gh' commands without verifying the triggering user's permissions for the specific operations being performed.

Security Invariant
Regression test
This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.
This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
