+# actions-need-pinned-commits
+
+For actions that look like:
+
+```
+uses: actions/checkout@v4
+```
+
+GitHub uses the underlying git label v4 to fetch the action to run. As seen in the
+[tj-actions/changed-files](https://semgrep.dev/blog/2025/popular-github-action-tj-actionschanged-files-is-compromised/)
+vulnerabilty, these lables are not immutable and trivially changeable. So what you think is a nice
+stable safe version, an attacker has changed behind your back to something nefarious.
+
+We are strongly encouraging use to use the full git commit hash instead to prevent this type of
+attacks.
+
+## Ratchet
+
+[Ratchet](https://github.com/sethvargo/ratchet) provides an easy way to do this.
+
+You can pin all your workflow files like this:
+
+```
+ratchet pin .github/workflows/*
+```
+
+And upgrade them (as needed, under your control and not someone elses):
+
+```
+ratchet upgrade .github/workflows/action_to_upgrade.yml
+```
