VNX-GH-108: Action not permitted by the allowed-actions policy

The workflow references an action that the repository's allowed-actions policy does not list.

Updated 02 Nov 2026Checked against cli@24498404a, vdb-sca-match@v0.8.14

The run will fail at start-up, or, if the policy is relaxed to make it pass, the allow-list stops meaning anything. Either way the drift should be resolved deliberately.


Severity	Medium
Confidence	high
CWE	CWE-284
Command	`vulnetix gha actions`, `vulnetix gha audit`
Needs	actions policy. Without them the rule is reported as not evaluated, never as passed.

Remediation

Replace the action with an allowed one, or add it (pinned) to the allow-list after review.

Run only this rule

vulnetix gha actions --rule VNX-GH-108
