v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT]
actions/download-artifact@​v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT]
Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @​actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

v7 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT]
actions/download-artifact@​v7 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.

Node.js 24

This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

🚨 Breaking Change

This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID. If you're downloading single artifacts by ID, the output path may change.

What Changed

Previously, single artifact downloads behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:

  • By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (direct)
  • By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/my-artifact/ (nested)

Now both methods are consistent:

  • By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (unchanged)
  • By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/ (fixed - now direct)
Migration Guide
✅ No Action Needed If:
  • You download artifacts by name
  • You download multiple artifacts by ID
  • You already use merge-multiple: true as a workaround
⚠️ Action Required If:

You download single artifacts by ID and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.

Before v5 (nested structure):

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
  with:
    artifact-ids: 12345
    path: dist

# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/

Where my-artifact is the name of the artifact you previously uploaded

To maintain old behavior (if needed):

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v5
  with:
    artifact-ids: 12345
    path: dist/my-artifact  # Explicitly specify the nested path

v7 What's new

Direct Uploads

Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

Security Review: No issues found

This PR updates first-party GitHub artifact actions (actions/upload-artifact v4→v7, actions/download-artifact v4→v8) in the CI workflow. These are maintained by the GitHub actions/ organization.

  • No new permissions, secrets, or workflow triggers are introduced.
  • No new code paths or logic changes — only version strings in uses: directives.
  • The existing pattern of using mutable major-version tags (rather than SHA-pinned refs) is unchanged; this is a pre-existing posture, not a new risk from this PR.

No security findings to report.

Security Review: No Vulnerabilities Found

PR: Dependency update of GitHub artifact actions (actions/upload-artifact v4 → v7, actions/download-artifact v4 → v8)

Scope: Single file changed (.github/workflows/dev.yml) — version bumps only, no logic changes.

Assessment:

  • Both actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact are first-party GitHub Actions maintained by the actions/ organization. The referenced versions (v7.0.1 and v8.0.1 respectively) are legitimate, published releases.
  • The download-artifact@v8 update actually improves security posture: it now defaults digest-mismatch to error, enforcing artifact integrity checks that were previously only warnings.
  • The use of mutable major-version tags (@v7, @v8) follows the same pattern as the previous @v4 references — this is not a new risk introduced by the PR.
  • No injection risks, secret leakage, permission changes, or supply-chain concerns identified.

Result: Clean — no findings.

Security Review: No Issues Found

This PR bumps two first-party GitHub Actions (actions/upload-artifact v4 → v7, actions/download-artifact v4 → v8) in .github/workflows/dev.yml. Both are official, verified releases from the actions organization.

Supply-chain risk: Low. These are first-party GitHub Actions with verified signatures. The use of major version tags (e.g., v7, v8) rather than pinned SHAs is consistent with the existing pattern and is standard for official actions.

Security improvement: download-artifact@v8 now defaults digest-mismatch behavior to error, which strengthens artifact integrity checks.

No new permissions, secrets exposure, code execution paths, or injection vectors are introduced by this change.

Security review (automation)

Scope: .github/workflows/dev.yml only bumps first-party GitHub actions: actions/upload-artifact@v4@v7 and actions/download-artifact@v4@v8. No workflow logic, permissions, triggers, or step inputs (name, path, etc.) were changed in this diff.

Findings: None rated medium or higher.

Analysis (concise):

  • Injection / SSRF / secrets: These edits only change action major versions; they do not introduce new attacker-controlled sinks or logging.
  • Authn/authz: Unchanged; deploy jobs remain gated with if: github.repository_owner == 'semaphoreui'.
  • Supply chain: Still actions/* maintained by GitHub; same trust model as the prior @v4 pins. download-artifact v8 tightens integrity handling (hash mismatch defaults to error per upstream release notes), which is security-positive rather than a regression.

Prior automation threads: Cleaned up so this assessment is the active one.

Slack (paste-ready): PR 3442 security review: clean — dependency-only bump to official upload-artifact / download-artifact majors; no new medium+ issues identified.

Security review (automation)

Scope: .github/workflows/dev.yml only — actions/upload-artifact v4→v7 and actions/download-artifact v4→v8.

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical issues identified in the changed lines.

Notes: Artifact name and path remain fixed literals (not PR-controlled). Supply-chain trust is unchanged in kind (first-party actions/* major tags). download-artifact v8 tightens integrity handling (digest mismatch defaults to error), which is a defensive default rather than a new exposure.

Prior automation assessment threads were cleared so this review reflects the current diff only.

Scope: .github/workflows/dev.yml only — actions/upload-artifact v4→v7 and actions/download-artifact v4→v8 (nine uses: lines).

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical issues identified in the changed lines.

Analysis:

  • Injection / SSRF / secrets: Diff changes action major versions only; artifact name (semaphore) and path (bin/semaphore) remain fixed literals with no PR-controlled inputs.
  • Authn/authz: Unchanged. Deploy jobs still gated with if: github.repository_owner == 'semaphoreui'; Docker push/login still skipped on pull_request.
  • Supply chain: Still first-party actions/* maintained by GitHub; mutable major tags (@v7, @v8) match the prior @v4 posture and are not a new risk from this PR. download-artifact@v8 defaults digest mismatch to error, which strengthens artifact integrity vs v4.
  • Prior automation threads: Validated; no unresolved findings remain applicable.

Slack (paste-ready): PR 3442 security review — clean. Renovate bump of official upload-artifact / download-artifact majors in dev.yml only; no new medium+ vulnerabilities; v8 digest check is a defensive improvement.

Scope: .github/workflows/dev.yml only — actions/upload-artifact v4→v7 and actions/download-artifact v4→v8 (nine uses: lines).

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical issues identified in the changed lines.

Analysis:

  • Version bumps only; no workflow logic, permissions, triggers, or step inputs changed.
  • Artifact names (semaphore, dredd-hooks) and paths remain hardcoded constants with no attacker-controlled input.
  • archive: false (v7 direct-upload mode) is not enabled; default zip behavior is unchanged.
  • v8 defaults digest mismatches to error, which hardens artifact integrity checks rather than weakening them.
  • Prior path-traversal risk in download-artifact (CVE-2024-42471, fixed in ≥4.1.3) is not reintroduced; v8 includes current fixes.

Supply-chain note (informational, below reporting threshold): @v7/@v8 are floating major tags from the official actions/ org—the same pinning model as the previous @v4 pins. No new exploitable attack path from this change alone.

Security review (automation)

Scope: .github/workflows/dev.yml only — actions/upload-artifact v4→v7 and actions/download-artifact v4→v8 (14 uses: lines).

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical issues identified in the changed lines.

Notes:

  • Artifact names (semaphore, dredd-hooks) and paths are hardcoded; no attacker-controlled input reaches these actions.
  • Artifacts are produced and consumed within the same workflow run (build-local → downstream jobs); no cross-workflow or external artifact sources.
  • v8 defaults digest mismatches to error, which hardens integrity checks versus v4; the prior path-traversal advisory (CVE-2024-42471) was patched in v4.1.3 and remains addressed in v8.
  • Floating major tags (@v7/@v8) are pre-existing practice; pinning to commit SHAs would reduce supply-chain risk but is outside this PR’s diff and not a new exposure.

Prior findings: No unresolved automation threads; previous assessments validated — still no exploitable path.
