Bumps step-security/harden-runner from 2.12.0 to 2.14.2.

Release notes

Sourced from step-security/harden-runner's releases.

v2.14.2

What's Changed

Security fix: Fixed a medium severity vulnerability where outbound network connections using sendto, sendmsg, and sendmmsg socket system calls could bypass audit logging when using egress-policy: audit. This issue only affects the Community Tier in audit mode; block mode and Enterprise Tier were not affected. See GHSA-cpmj-h4f6-r6pq for details.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.14.1...v2.14.2

v2.14.1

What's Changed

  1. In some self-hosted environments, the agent could briefly fall back to public DNS resolvers during startup if the system DNS was not yet available. This behavior was unintended for GitHub-hosted runners and has now been fixed to prevent any use of public DNS resolvers.

  2. Fixed npm audit vulnerabilities

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.14.0...v2.14.1

v2.14.0

What's Changed

  • Selective installation: Harden-Runner now skips installation on GitHub-hosted runners when the repository has a custom property skip_harden_runner, allowing organizations to opt out specific repos.
  • Avoid double install: The action no longer installs Harden-Runner if it’s already present on a GitHub-hosted runner, which could happen when a composite action also installs it.

v2.13.3

What's Changed

  • Fixed an issue where process events were not uploaded in certain edge cases.

v2.13.2

What's Changed

  • Fixed an issue where there was a limit of 512 allowed endpoints when using block egress policy. This restriction has been removed, allowing for an unlimited number of endpoints to be configured.
  • Harden Runner now automatically detects if the agent is already pre-installed on a custom VM image used by a GitHub-hosted runner. When detected, the action will skip reinstallation and use the existing agent.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.13.1...v2.13.2

v2.13.1

What's Changed

  • Graceful handling of HTTP errors: Improved error handling when fetching Harden Runner policies from the StepSecurity Policy Store API, ensuring more reliable execution even in case of temporary network/API issues.

  • Security updates for npm dependencies: Updated vulnerable npm package dependencies to the latest secure versions.

  • Faster enterprise agent downloads: The enterprise agent is now downloaded from GitHub Releases instead of packages.stepsecurity.io, improving download speed and reliability.
