GitHub introduces workflow dependency lockfiles to pin Action references to verified commit SHAs, ensuring reproducible and secure CI/CD executions. By using the gh actions-lock extension, repositories can prevent supply chain attacks caused by mutable tags or branches.
Background
GitHub Actions workflows often reference third-party actions via moving tags or branches, creating potential supply chain vulnerabilities if upstream references are compromised.
