From 760372169d83bb966a4fe1c2365df0e3f84f3a23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Jensen Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:20:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ci: Harden the GitHub Actions workflows Reduce the token exposure and shell-injection surface of the workflows without changing what they do: * Set `persist-credentials: false` on the checkouts that never reuse the token for a `git` operation. * Drop the `workflow_run` checkouts' `ref:` so Deploy Snapshot and the docs publish build the default branch rather than the triggering commit, which on a `workflow_run` can be a fork's. * Quote `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` and the `$(date ...)` command substitution, and pass the resolved version through `env:` into the run step. * Pin `advanced-security/maven-dependency-submission-action` to a commit SHA; the floating `v5` tag has no matching release tag to name, so this moves to `v6.0.1`. * Record why the `workflow_run` triggers are not exploitable: the branch filter excludes fork PRs, the job checks out the default branch, and it reuses no artifact from the triggering run.

Both tool versions are pinned. `.github/zizmor.yml` accepts tag pins for actions from GitHub's own orgs (`actions/*`, `github/*`, `dependabot/*`) and requires a commit SHA for anything else, and keeps the workspace-relative `./...` action syntax rather than the very recent `$/...` form.
