Security Fixes

Least Privileged GitHub Actions Token Permissions

The GITHUB_TOKEN is an automatically generated secret to make authenticated calls to the GitHub API. GitHub recommends setting minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN.

Pinned Dependencies

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.

Harden Runner

Harden-Runner is an open-source security agent for the GitHub-hosted runner to prevent software supply chain attacks. It prevents exfiltration of credentials, detects tampering of source code during build, and enables running jobs without sudo access.

Harden runner usage

You can find link to view insights and policy recommendation in the build log

Please refer to documentation to find more details.
