Pin the action/cache action in action.yml to a specific SHA, this change will allow usage of the pre-commit action when enforcement of SHA pinning on actions is set[1]. SHA pinning helps prevent supply chain attacks as versions/releases of actions are not immutable and can be updated at any time. Pinning to a SHA makes the release immutable from the consumer perspective. SHA pinning enforcement applies to downstream dependencies, i.e. if I include pre-commit/action in my workflows I cannot use SHA pinning because actions/cache is currently unpinned.

as much as this is a good practice I can't rationalize the maintenance trade off at this time feel free to use your fork though! |
