Release Notes

step-security/harden-runner (step-security/harden-runner)

v2.14.2

Compare Source

What's Changed

Security fix: Fixed a medium severity vulnerability where outbound network connections using sendto, sendmsg, and sendmmsg socket system calls could bypass audit logging when using egress-policy: audit. This issue only affects the Community Tier in audit mode; block mode and Enterprise Tier were not affected. See GHSA-cpmj-h4f6-r6pq for details.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.14.1...v2.14.2

v2.14.1

Compare Source

What's Changed

1. In some self-hosted environments, the agent could briefly fall back to public DNS resolvers during startup if the system DNS was not yet available. This behavior was unintended for GitHub-hosted runners and has now been fixed to prevent any use of public DNS resolvers.

2. Fixed npm audit vulnerabilities

v2.14.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Selective installation: Harden-Runner now skips installation on GitHub-hosted runners when the repository has a custom property skip_harden_runner, allowing organizations to opt out specific repos.
• Avoid double install: The action no longer installs Harden-Runner if it’s already present on a GitHub-hosted runner, which could happen when a composite action also installs it.

v2.13.3

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Fixed an issue where process events were not uploaded in certain edge cases.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.13.2...v2.13.3

v2.13.2

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Fixed an issue where there was a limit of 512 allowed endpoints when using block egress policy. This restriction has been removed, allowing for an unlimited number of endpoints to be configured.
• Harden Runner now automatically detects if the agent is already pre-installed on a custom VM image used by a GitHub-hosted runner. When detected, the action will skip reinstallation and use the existing agent.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.13.1...v2.13.2

v2.13.1

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Graceful handling of HTTP errors: Improved error handling when fetching Harden Runner policies from the StepSecurity Policy Store API, ensuring more reliable execution even in case of temporary network/API issues.

• Security updates for npm dependencies: Updated vulnerable npm package dependencies to the latest secure versions.

• Faster enterprise agent downloads: The enterprise agent is now downloaded from GitHub Releases instead of packages.stepsecurity.io, improving download speed and reliability.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2...v2.12.2

v2.12.1

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Detection capabilities have been upgraded to better recognize attempts at runner tampering. These improvements are informed by real-world incident learnings, including analysis of anomalous behaviors observed in the tj-actions and reviewdog supply chain attack.
• Resolved an issue where the block policy was not enforced correctly when the GitHub Actions job was running inside a container on a self-hosted VM runner.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2...v2.12.1

v2.12.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

1. A new option, disable-sudo-and-containers, is now available to replace the disable-sudo policy, addressing Docker-based privilege escalation (CVE-2025-32955). More details can be found in this blog post.

2. New detections have been added based on insights from the tj-actions and reviewdog actions incidents.

What's Changed

Fixed an issue where DNS requests using uppercase characters (e.g., EXAMPLE.com) were blocked even when the domain was present in the allowed list. This update standardizes domain names to lowercase for consistent comparison.

What's Changed

Release v2.9.1 by @​h0x0er and @​varunsh-coder in #​440
This release includes two changes:

1. Updated markdown displayed in the job summary by the Harden-Runner Action.
2. Fixed a bug affecting Enterprise Tier customers where the agent attempted to upload telemetry for jobs with disable-telemetry set to true. No telemetry was uploaded as the endpoint was not in the allowed list.

v2.9.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Release v2.9.0 by @​h0x0er and @​varunsh-coder in #​435
This release includes:

• Enterprise Tier - Telemetry Upload Enhancement:
  For the enterprise tier, this change helps overcome size constraints, allowing for more reliable telemetry uploads from the Harden-Runner agent to the StepSecurity backend API. No configuration change is needed to enable this.
• Harden-Runner Agent Authentication:
  The Harden-Runner agent now uses a per-job key to authenticate to the StepSecurity backend API to submit telemetry. This change prevents the submission of telemetry data anonymously for a given job, improving the integrity of the data collection process. No configuration change is needed to enable this.
• README Update:
  A Table of Contents has been added to the README file to improve navigation. This makes it easier for users to find the information they need quickly.
• Dependency Update:
  Updated the braces npm package dependency to a non-vulnerable version. The vulnerability in braces did not affect the Harden Runner Action

v2.8.1

Compare Source

What's Changed

• Bug fix: Update isGitHubHosted implementation by @​varunsh-coder in #​425
  The previous implementation incorrectly identified large GitHub-hosted runners as self-hosted runners. As a result, harden-runner was not executing on these large GitHub-hosted runners.

v2.8.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Release v2.8.0 by @​h0x0er and @​varunsh-coder in #​416
This release includes:

• File Monitoring Enhancements: Adds the capability to view the name and path of every file written during the build process.
• Process Tracking Enhancements: Adds the capability to view process names and arguments of processes run during the build process.

These enhancements are based on insights from the XZ Utils incident, aimed at improving observability and detections during the build process.
