Amazing! I really like the idea of pinning github action versions to specific hashes!
Q) Can dependabot work with hashes rather than versions? and upgrade the hashes when there's an action update? ๐ค

If I've understood this correctly (here's an example), then yes it should work. Someone even merged a PR to update the commented version numbers themselves

Security Fixes
Least Privileged GitHub Actions Token Permissions
The GITHUB_TOKEN is an automatically generated secret to make authenticated calls to the GitHub API. GitHub recommends setting minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN.
Pinned Dependencies
GitHub Action tags and Docker tags are mutable. This poses a security risk. GitHub's Security Hardening guide recommends pinning actions to full length commit.
Harden Runner
Harden-Runner is an open-source security agent for the GitHub-hosted runner to prevent software supply chain attacks. It prevents exfiltration of credentials, detects tampering of source code during build, and enables running jobs without
sudo
access.Harden runner usage
You can find link to view insights and policy recommendation in the build log Please refer to [documentation](https://docs.stepsecurity.io/harden-runner/how-tos/enable-runtime-security) to find more details.Keeping your actions up to date with Dependabot
With Dependabot version updates, when Dependabot identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency. This is recommended by GitHub as well as The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF).
Detect Vulnerabilities with SAST Workflow
Static Code Analysis (also known as Source Code Analysis) is usually performed as part of a Code Review (also known as clear-box testing) and is carried out at the Implementation phase of a Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). Static Code Analysis commonly refers to the running of Static Code Analysis tools that attempt to highlight possible vulnerabilities within โstaticโ (non-running) source code by using techniques such as Taint Analysis and Data Flow Analysis.
Secure Dockerfiles
Pin image tags to digests in Dockerfiles. With the Docker v2 API release, it became possible to use digests in place of tags when pulling images or to use them in FROM lines in Dockerfiles.
Add Dependency Review Workflow
The Dependency Review Workflow enforces dependency reviews on your pull requests. The action scans for vulnerable versions of dependencies introduced by package version changes in pull requests, and warns you about the associated security vulnerabilities. This gives you better visibility of what's changing in a pull request, and helps prevent vulnerabilities being added to your repository.
Add OpenSSF Scorecard Workflow
OpenSSF Scorecard is an automated tool that assesses a number of important heuristics ("checks") associated with software security and assigns each check a score of 0-10. You can use these scores to understand specific areas to improve in order to strengthen the security posture of your project.
Scorecard workflow also allows maintainers to display a Scorecard badge on their repository to show off their hard work.
