Compare Source

What's Changed

• fix: detect ubuntu-slim runners early and bail out by @​devantler in #​657

What the fix changes

• Harden-Runner will detect ubuntu-slim runners and exit cleanly with an informational log message, instead of post harden runner step failing on chown: invalid user: 'undefined'.

What the fix does not do

• Jobs running on ubuntu-slim will not be monitored by Harden-Runner. The agent relies on kernel-level features (that require elevated capabilities).
• Per GitHub's docs on single-CPU runners: "The container for ubuntu-slim runners runs in unprivileged mode. This means that some operations requiring elevated privileges such as mounting file systems, using Docker-in-Docker, or accessing low-level kernel features are not supported." Those low-level kernel features are what the agent needs, so monitoring inside the unprivileged container is not feasible today.

For StepSecurity enterprise customers
If your security posture requires that workflows are always monitored, you can block the use of ubuntu-slim via workflow run policies see the Runner Label Policy docs. This lets you enforce that jobs only run on monitored runner types.

Compare Source

What's Changed

New Runner Support

Harden-Runner now supports Depot, Blacksmith, Namespace, and WarpBuild runners with the same egress monitoring, runtime monitoring, and policy enforcement available on GitHub-hosted runners.

Automated Incident Response for Supply Chain Attacks

• Global block list: Outbound connections to known malicious domains and IPs are now blocked even in audit mode.
• System-defined detection rules: Harden-Runner will trigger lockdown mode when a high risk event is detected during an active supply chain attack (for example, a process reading the memory of the runner worker process, a common technique for stealing GitHub Actions secrets).

Bug Fixes

Windows and macOS: stability and reliability fixes

v2.18.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Global Block List: During supply chain incidents like the recent axios and trivy compromises, StepSecurity will add known malicious domains and IP addresses (IOCs) to a global block list. These will be automatically blocked, even in audit mode, providing immediate protection without requiring any workflow changes.

Deploy on Self-Hosted VM: Added deploy-on-self-hosted-vm input that allows the Harden Runner agent to be installed directly on ephemeral self-hosted Linux runner VMs at workflow runtime. This is intended as an alternative when baking the agent into the VM image is not possible.

What's Changed

Policy Store Support

Added use-policy-store and api-key inputs to fetch security policies directly from the StepSecurity Policy Store. Policies can be defined and attached at the workflow, repo, org, or cluster (ARC) level, with the most granular policy taking precedence. This is the preferred method over the existing policy input which requires id-token: write permission. If no policy is found in the store, the action defaults to audit mode.
