VNX-GH-213: Dependabot alerts or security updates disabled

Vulnerable dependencies, including pinned actions, are not raised as update pull requests.

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

SHA-pinned actions only stay safe if something updates them. Security updates open the fix as a pull request as soon as an advisory is published.


Severity	Low
Confidence	high
CWE	CWE-1104
Command	`vulnetix gha settings`, `vulnetix gha audit`
Needs	repo, security and analysis. Without them the rule is reported as not evaluated, never as passed.

Remediation

Enable Dependabot security updates, and add a github-actions ecosystem entry to dependabot.yml.

Run only this rule

vulnetix gha settings --rule VNX-GH-213
