May 2026 monthly summary for felleslosninger/github-workflows focused on hardening CI/CD security and modernizing tooling. Delivered consolidated least-privilege permissions across core workflows (Docker build, PR labeling, Maven build/publish, and image update workflows) with per-job resets to improve auditable automation and minimize blast radius. Introduced a reusable image metadata composite action to centralize image-name/tag logic and reduce duplication. Upgraded Node actions to Node 24 compatibility and refreshed the internal actions library to the latest level, with SHA-pinning of third-party actions to boost security and reliability. Standardized permission resets across image-build pipelines, tightened ACR login handling via a dedicated composite action, and refreshed scanning tooling (Trivy) and SBOM workflows for improved vulnerability visibility. Performed cross-repo validation in platform-test-app and platform-test-app-quarkus to confirm no regressions and documented test traces for future audits.
