Pin used actions and analyse transitive dependencies of GitHub workflows / actions

Eclipse Octopin

Analyses and pins GitHub actions in your workflows.

This tool pins your GitHub Action versions to use the SHA-1 hash instead of tag to improve security as Git tags are not immutable.

Converts uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1.7.0 to uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@67fbcbb121271f7775d2e7715933280b06314838 # v1.7.0

Skipping actions

To skip a specific action from being pinned, you can add a comment pinning: ignore.

Example using the generic SLSA generator action which MUST be referenced by a tag rather than a commit hash:

provenance:
    needs: ['prepare', 'build-dist']
    permissions:
      actions: read
      contents: write
      id-token: write # Needed to access the workflow's OIDC identity.
    uses: slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator/.github/workflows/generator_generic_slsa3.yml@v2.1.0 # pinning: ignore
    with:
      base64-subjects: "${{ needs.build-dist.outputs.hashes }}"
      upload-assets: true
