Pinning an action to a full length commit SHA is currently the only way to use a non-immutable 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. When selecting a SHA, you should verify it is from the action's repository and not a repository fork.

See the [`UnpinnedActionsTag-CUSTOMIZING.md`](https://github.com/github/codeql/blob/main/actions/ql/src/Security/CWE-829/UnpinnedActionsTag-CUSTOMIZING.md) file in the source code for this query for information on how to extend the list of Action publishers trusted by this query.
The examples in this section are taken from the standard CodeQL Actions query pack published by GitHub. They demonstrate how to add tuples to extend extensible predicates that are used by the standard queries.

Example: Extend the trusted Actions publishers for the ``actions/unpinned-tag`` query
If there is an Action publisher that you trust, you can include the owner name/organization in a data extension model pack to add it to the allow list for this query. Adding owners to this list will prevent security alerts when using unpinned tags for Actions published by that owner.

To allow any Action from the publisher ``octodemo``, such as ``octodemo/3rd-party-action``, follow these steps:
59
+
60
+
1. Create a data extension file ``/models/trusted-owner.model.yml`` with the following content:
61
+
62
+
.. code-block:: yaml
63
+
64
+
extensions:
65
+
- addsTo:
66
+
pack: codeql/actions-all
67
+
extensible: trustedActionsOwnerDataModel
68
+
data:
69
+
- ["octodemo"]
70
+
71
+
2. Create a model pack file ``/codeql-pack.yml`` with the following content:
72
+
73
+
.. code-block:: yaml
74
+
75
+
name: my-org/actions-extensions-model-pack
76
+
version: 0.0.0
77
+
library: true
78
+
extensionTargets:
79
+
codeql/actions-all: '*'
80
+
dataExtensions:
81
+
- models/**/*.yml
82
+
83
+
3. Ensure that the model pack is included in your CodeQL analysis.
84
+
85
+
By following these steps, you will add ``octodemo`` to the list of trusted Action publishers, and the query will no longer generate security alerts for unpinned tags from this publisher.
