Use specific commit hashes instead of version tags when referencing GitHub Actions in CI/CD workflows. Version tags can be moved or updated, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities or breaking changes, while commit hashes are immutable and provide reproducible builds.

Reviewer Prompt

Use specific commit hashes instead of version tags when referencing GitHub Actions in CI/CD workflows. Version tags can be moved or updated, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities or breaking changes, while commit hashes are immutable and provide reproducible builds.

Replace version tags like @v4 or @v3 with the full commit hash:

# Instead of:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: DeterminateSystems/determinate-nix-action@v3

# Use:
- uses: actions/checkout@08c6903cd8c0fde910a37f88322edcfb5dd907a8
- uses: DeterminateSystems/determinate-nix-action@b7303d63f88908d15f0bcb207e60b3a0ea7f1712

This practice enhances security by preventing supply chain attacks where malicious actors could update the code behind a version tag, and ensures reproducible builds by guaranteeing the exact same action code runs every time.
