OpenSSF Open Source Project Security Baseline (OSPS Baseline) OSPS-AC-03.02: OSPS-AC-03.02 Protect the Primary Branch from Accidental Modification

OSPS-AC-03 Protect the Primary Branch from Accidental Modification (maturity levels 1, 2, 3). Requirement: When an attempt is made to delete the project's primary branch, the version control system MUST treat this as a sensitive activity and require explicit confirmation of intent. Objective of the control: Reduce the risk of accidental changes or deletion of the primary branch of the project's repository by preventing unintentional modification. Recommendation: Set branch protection on the primary branch in the project's version control system to prevent deletion.
