Security Fixes

Pinned Dependencies

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

Keeping your actions up to date with Dependabot

With Dependabot version updates, when Dependabot identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency. This is recommended by GitHub as well as The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF).

Detect Vulnerabilities with SAST Workflow

Static Code Analysis (also known as Source Code Analysis) is usually performed as part of a Code Review (also known as clear-box testing) and is carried out at the Implementation phase of a Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). Static Code Analysis commonly refers to the running of Static Code Analysis tools that attempt to highlight possible vulnerabilities within ‘static’ (non-running) source code by using techniques such as Taint Analysis and Data Flow Analysis.

Maintain Code Quality with Pre-Commit

Pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. Hooks can be any scripts, code, or binaries that run at any stage of the git workflow. Pre-commit hooks are useful for enforcing code quality, code formatting, and detecting security vulnerabilities.
