Description#

A GitHub Action from a third-party repository is referenced without being pinned to a specific commit SHA. This means the action could change unexpectedly if the repository is updated or compromised.

Impact#

If the referenced action is modified by its author or a bad actor, your workflow could automatically run untrusted or malicious code. This can lead to leaks of secrets, unauthorized access, or compromise of your CI/CD pipeline and related infrastructure.
