- Pinned actions by SHA https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md#pinned-dependencies - Included permissions for the action. https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md#token-permissions >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's repository, as they would need to generate a SHA-1 collision for a valid Git object payload. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-third-party-actions Also, dependabot supports upgrading based on SHA.
