Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v8...v8.0.1

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

• Don't attempt to un-zip non-zipped downloads by @​danwkennedy in actions/download-artifact#460
• Add a setting to specify what to do on hash mismatch and default it to error by @​danwkennedy in actions/download-artifact#461

Updates step-security/harden-runner from 2.15.0 to 2.16.0

Release notes

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

v2.16.0

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.

Updates actions/upload-artifact from 6.0.0 to 7.0.0

Release notes

Sourced from actions/upload-artifact's releases.

v7.0.0

v7 What's new

Direct Uploads

Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

• Add proxy integration test by @​Link- in actions/upload-artifact#754
• Upgrade the module to ESM and bump dependencies by @​danwkennedy in actions/upload-artifact#762
• Support direct file uploads by @​danwkennedy in actions/upload-artifact#764
