Update artifact FAQ with details about security advisory #1825

Closed thyeggman closed 2 months ago

thyeggman commented 2 months ago

Some users have been seeing dependabot update actions/download-artifact to a version which has breaking changes due to a security advisory. The error they see in the job output points to this FAQ, which I'm updating to include details about the failure.

The security advisory originally had the wrong range of affected versions (<4.1.7). The actual affected range is 4.0.0-4.1.6. Originally there was a small number of failures due to dependabot trying to update old versions that were actually unaffected, which is why I wanted to add the note to the FAQ. However, now since the affected versions are correctly listed as v4, there will be no incompatibility, so the there should be no more need for this message 🙂
