Release Notes

step-security/harden-runner (step-security/harden-runner)

v2.17.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Policy Store Support

Added use-policy-store and api-key inputs to fetch security policies directly from the StepSecurity Policy Store. Policies can be defined and attached at the workflow, repo, org, or cluster (ARC) level, with the most granular policy taking precedence. This is the preferred method over the existing policy input which requires id-token: write permission. If no policy is found in the store, the action defaults to audit mode.

What's Changed

• Updated action.yml to use node24
• Security fix: Fixed a medium severity vulnerability where the egress block policy could be bypassed via DNS over HTTPS (DoH) by proxying DNS queries through a permitted resolver, allowing data exfiltration even with a restrictive allowed-endpoints list. This issue only affects the Community Tier; the Enterprise Tier is not affected. See GHSA-46g3-37rh-v698 for details.
• Security fix: Fixed a medium severity vulnerability where the egress block policy could be bypassed via DNS queries over TCP to external resolvers, allowing outbound network communication that evades configured network restrictions. This issue only affects the Community Tier; the Enterprise Tier is not affected. See GHSA-g699-3x6g-wm3g for details.
