fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs

The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at
startup — startup_failure, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflows
could not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the
ref in a trailing comment, e.g. actions/checkout@<sha> # v4.

dtolnay/rust-toolchain takes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained an
explicit with: toolchain: input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.

No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.

gh actions-lock lockfile SHA pinned workflow references NOSONAR authority token

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
To secure GitHub Actions workflows, you should implement SHA pinning, manage permissions strictly, and use appropriate suppression markers for static analysis tools. SHA Pinning and Lockfiles Pinning actions to a full-length commit SHA is the only way to ensure an action is immutable, protecting against malicious updates to tags or branches [1][2]. GitHub provides tooling to manage this: - gh-actions-lock: A CLI extension that generates and verifies a dependency lockfile (.github/workflows/actions.lock), pinning every action to a verified commit [3]. - Lockfile Format: The authoritative lockfile format records the resolved transitive dependency graph, allowing tools to audit and verify exact action pins [4]. - Policy Enforcement: Administrators can enforce SHA pinning at the organization or repository level via the allowed actions policy, causing workflows to fail if they use unpinned actions [2]. NOSONAR Markers The # NOSONAR comment is an inline suppression marker used to silence static analysis findings (e.g., SonarCloud rules) [5][6]. - Usage: It is typically used to document and suppress false positives in CI/CD configurations, such as when a security rule (e.g., S7635 regarding secret inheritance) flags a trusted first-party reusable workflow [5][6]. - Best Practice: Use it sparingly and only for confirmed false positives to avoid masking actual security risks [5][7]. Authority Tokens and Security - GITHUB_TOKEN: This is a short-lived, repository-scoped token [8]. You should always minimize its permissions by setting permissions: {} at the workflow level and granting only the specific scopes required at the job level [9][10][11]. - OIDC: For cloud authentication, avoid static credentials (like long-lived access keys) in favor of OpenID Connect (OIDC) to obtain short-lived, role-based tokens [9][11]. - Principle of Least Privilege: Always assume the default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are too broad and restrict them immediately [11].

<title>Secure use reference</title> https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/security/secure-use - Pin actions to a full-length commit SHA Pinning an action to a full-length commit SHA is currently the only way to use an action as an immutable release. Pinning to a particular SHA helps mitigate the risk of a bad actor adding a backdoor to the action&`#39`;s repository, as they would need to generate a SHA-1 collision for a valid Git object payload. When selecting a SHA, you should verify it is from the action&`#39`;s repository and not a repository fork. For an example of using a full-length commit SHA in a workflow, see Using pre-written building blocks in your workflow. GitHub offers policies at the repository and organization level to require actions to be pinned to a full-length commit SHA: To configure the policy at the repository level, see Managing GitHub Actions settings for a repository. To configure the policy at the organization level, see Disabling or limiting GitHub Actions for your organization. ... You can use the dependency graph to explore the actions that the workflows in your repository use. The dependency graph is a summary of the manifest and lock files stored in a repository. It also recognizes files in `./github/workflows/` as manifests, which means that any actions or workflows referenced using the syntax `jobs[*].steps[*].uses` or `jobs.<job_id>.uses` will be parsed as dependencies. ... dependency graph shows ... - The account or organization that owns the action. - The workflow file that references the action. - The version or SHA the action is pinned to. ... > [!NOTE] > Dependabot only creates alerts for vulnerable actions that use semantic versioning and will not create alerts for actions pinned to SHA values. <title>GitHub Actions policy now supports blocking and SHA pinning actions - GitHub Changelog</title> https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-15-github-actions-policy-now-supports-blocking-and-sha-pinning-actions/ GitHub Actions policy now supports blocking and SHA pinning actions - GitHub Changelog August 15, 2025 • 2 minute read # GitHub Actions policy now supports blocking and SHA pinning actions GitHub Actions is powered by a diverse ecosystem of first-party and community contributed actions. If one of these actions has a vulnerability or is compromised by a malicious actor, it can impact all of its dependents in the supply chain. Tools like Dependabot can identify and upgrade actions versions with known vulnerabilities to help mitigate exposure. However, when an action is compromised to include malicious code, such as exfiltrating secrets or utilizing the permissions granted to the workflow to modify code or releases, users must act quickly and decisively to limit their exposure to these malicious changes. This release provides new features that allow developers and administrators to better respond and proactively limit the impact of compromised dependencies. ### Block specific actions or versions To provide better governance and respond to third-party workflows that are identified as malicious, the allowed actions and reusable workflows policy now supports explicit blocking. Prefix an entry with `!` to block a specific action or version. The blocklist is evaluated last, overriding any other policy that would otherwise allow the action. ### Enforce SHA pinning To proactively limit the impact of a compromised dependency, GitHub recommends that workflows pin dependency versions to a specific commit SHA. This will prevent malicious code added to a new or updated branch or tag from being automatically used. Administrators can now enforce the use of SHA pinning through the allowed actions policy. A new checkbox appears under each radio selection, except when actions are disabled at the enterprise, organization, or repository level. The policy will check for a full commit SHA, and any workflow that attempts to use an action that isn’t pinned will fail. ### Documentation To enforce these new policies, refer to our updated documentation on allowed actions and reusable workflows and SHA pinning enforcement. The GitHub Well-Architected Framework has been updated to reflect these policies and recommended practices for GitHub Actions security. ### Roadmap Hardening the open source and GitHub Actions ecosystem is an ongoing focus and GitHub is introducing immutable releases towards this goal of strengthening supply chain security. Once a release is marked immutable, its assets and Git tag cannot be changed or deleted. The feature also adds release attestations for verifiable artifact integrity and integrates with protection rulesets, supporting both UI and API workflows. For the GitHub Actions ecosystem, the benefits include the ability to pin tags with immutable references, preventing potential malicious updates to existing tags and enabling dependable updates via Dependabot. Workflows can now consume trusted, unalterable assets, and deployment pipelines gain improved stability and reproducibility through the use of immutable artifacts. <title>github/gh-actions-lock</title> https://github.com/github/gh-actions-lock # github/gh-actions-lock A gh CLI extension that generates and verifies the GitHub Actions dependency lockfile, pinning every action your workflows use to an exact commit. - Stars: 21 - Forks: 2 - Watchers: 21 - Open issues: 3 - License: MIT License - Default branch: main - Created: 2026-04-22T04:45:53Z ## Languages - Go - Makefile - Ruby - Shell ## Topics - cli - dependency-pinning - gh-extension - github-actions - go - lockfile - security - supply-chain-security ## Top Contributors - nodeselector (30 contributions) - Steve-Glass (1 contributions) --- ## README # gh-actions-lock Lock your workflow dependencies. > [!WARNING] > **Technical Preview.** gh-actions-lock is pre-1.0 and under active development. The > lockfile format, command flags, and behavior may change without notice between > releases. Use it, file issues, and expect rough edges. ## Background gh-actions-lock is part of GitHub&`#39`;s Workflow Dependency Pinning effort. It gives repositories a lockfile that pins every workflow dependency to a verified commit, so what runs on the runner is exactly what you locked. Development is ongoing and behavior may still change. Contributions are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md to get started. ## Requirements Requires the `gh` CLI. Install it first, then install the extension: ```bash gh extension install github/gh-actions-lock ``` ## Usage Scan every workflow under `.github/workflows/` directory, pin each resolvable action to a SHA, and update the lockfile: ```bash gh actions-lock ``` After the initial run to onboard workflows, you will need to run `gh actions-lock` when: - A new workflow is created that has `uses` dependencies. - An existing workflow adds or removes `uses` dependencies. A full-directory run (`gh actions-lock` with no path arguments) also prunes lockfile entries for workflows that have been deleted from `.github/workflows/`, dropping any dependencies left orphaned by the removal. Scoped runs that name specific workflows never prune out-of-scope entries. Pins to branches or partial versions (e.g. `main`, `v4`) are trusted from the lockfile and not re-resolved on a normal run. To bump them to the current upstream commit, run: ```bash gh actions-lock --relock ``` `--relock` re-resolves refs that have legitimately moved and rewrites the lockfile to the new SHA. Suspicious pins whose recorded commit is no longer reachable upstream are left as errors — use `--accept-moved` to re-resolve those as well. ### Self repository actions (`$/…`) `uses: $/…` references an action or reusable workflow in the **same repository** as the defining file, resolved at the **running commit**. Because it always resolves to that repository&amp;`#39`;s running SHA it is **inherently pinned** — no lockfile entry is required, and it is valid anywhere a relative `./…` reference is: ```yaml steps: - uses: $/actions/my-action # same-repo action, inherently pinned jobs: call: uses: $/.github/workflows/reusable.yml # same-repo reusable workflow ``` A trailing `@ref` (e.g. `$/actions/my-action@v1`) is rejected — the ref is always the running commit. Same-repo `./…` composite action references are automatically converted to `$/…` on fix runs. This rewrites `./…` steps both in your workflows and in your in-repo composite action definitions (`action.yml`). Only `./…` paths that resolve to an in-repo action file are rewritten. To leave `./…` refs untouched, opt out with `--no-migrate-local-actions`: ```bash gh actions-lock --no-migrate-local-actions ``` ## How it works A repo gets a lockfile (located at `.github/workflows/actions.lock`) and workflows are onboarded to the lockfile on a per-workflow basis. Workflows that are onboarded to the lockfile enforce that all dependencies are present in the lockfile and guarantees that the locked commit for an Action is what&`#39`;s executed on the runner. Lockfiles are also verified for forgeries. The sha must exist in the refs it&`#39`;s stated to exist in.

It is part of GitHub&`#39`;s broader Workflow Dependency Pinning effort, and the schema and parser will continue to evolve toward a stable `v1.0.0`. Contributions are welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. ## Installation ```sh go get github.com/github/actions-lockfile/go/pkg/lockfile ``` The Go module lives under `go/` so the repository can grow additional language bindings around the same lockfile schema. ## Usage ### Parse a lockfile and look up a workflow&`#39`;s pins ```go package main import ( "fmt" "os" lockfile "github.com/github/actions-lockfile/go/pkg/lockfile" ) func main() { contents, err := os.ReadFile(lockfile.Path) // ".github/workflows/actions.lock" if err != nil { panic(err) } file, err := lockfile.Parse(contents) if err != nil { panic(err) } pins, ok := file.LookupWorkflow(".github/workflows/release.yml") if !ok { fmt.Println("workflow not present in lockfile") return } for _, key := range pins { fmt.Println(key) // e.g. actions/checkout@v6.0.2 } } ``` ### Surface structured parse errors `Parse` returns a `*lockfile.ParseError` carrying line and column for semantic failures, so callers can anchor diagnostics on the lockfile itself instead of scraping yaml.v3&`#39`;s error string. ```go file, err := lockfile.Parse(contents) if err != nil { var perr *lockfile.ParseError if errors.As(err, &perr) { fmt.Printf("%s:%d:%d: %s\n", lockfile.Path, perr.Line, perr.Column, perr.Msg) return } panic(err) } _ = file ``` ## Schema The lockfile is a YAML document whose shape is defined by a JSON Schema 2020-12 document embedded in the package and reachable via `lockfile.Schema()`. The current schema version is `v0.0.2` (`schema/lockfile-v0.0.2.json`). The on-disk file lives at `Path` (`.github/workflows/actions.lock`) and has three top-level keys: ```yaml version: v0.0.2 workflows: # workflow path -> flat, transitive list of pin keys .github/workflows/release.yml: - actions/checkout@v6.0.2 dependencies: # pin key -> resolved action metadata actions/checkout@v6.0.2: ref: v6.0.2 commit: sha1-de0fac2e... owner_id: 44036562 repo_id: 197814629 ``` A pin key is `OWNER/REPO@REF`. The same key appears in both `workflows` (as flat transitive lists) and `dependencies` (as deduplicated graph entries with `uses:` links to direct dependencies). The parser also reads v0.0.1 lockfiles (which used `tag`/`branch` fields and `:algo-hex` suffixed pin keys) and normalizes them to the v0.0.2 `File` struct. Use `ParseWithPolicy` with a `VersionPolicy` to control which versions are accepted. ## Compatibility and stability - The Go module follows semver.

Synchronise the lockfile with the pinned commit.

.github/workflows/actions.lock is enforced for workflow dependencies. It records hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.1.0 at a different commit from the full SHA used here. The lock verifier can therefore reject this workflow before the notification step runs. Full-SHA references are not exempt.

Run gh actions-lock, commit the updated lockfile, and update the NOSONAR token to the generated lock entry.

`actions.lock` is authoritative: the workflows carry readable refs and the lock records the
commit each ref resolves to, which is what actually runs. Refs that stop matching the manifest
make the whole repository unstartable — `startup_failure`, "Invalid lockfile".

Regenerated with the official extension (`github/gh-actions-lock`). The hand-pinned SHA refs are
reverted to their readable form here precisely because the lockfile, not the workflow, is what
pins them.
