Security Checks Details

❌ Actions should be pinned to a full-length commit SHA

• Severity: Critical

• Description: GitHub Action tags and Docker tags are mutable. This poses a security risk. GitHub's Security Hardening guide recommends pinning actions to full length commit.

• Resolution: Pin Actions to a full-length commit SHA..

• Automated Remediation Available ?: true

• References:

  • GitHub Security Guide

  • The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Security Guide

❌ Network and runtime security monitoring should be enabled for GitHub-hosted runners

• Severity: Low

• Description: This check passes if the step-security/harden-runner GitHub Action is used in a job that runs on a GitHub-hosted runner. Harden-Runner prevents exfiltration of code and CI/CD credentials, and detects tampering of files during build.

• Resolution: Add the step-security/harden-runner GitHub Action to the job.

• Automated Remediation Available ?: true

• References:

  • GitHub Security Guide

  • The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Security Guide
