v2.9.1

What's Changed

Release v2.9.1 by @​h0x0er and @​varunsh-coder in #​440
This release includes two changes:

1. Updated markdown displayed in the job summary by the Harden-Runner Action.
2. Fixed a bug affecting Enterprise Tier customers where the agent attempted to upload telemetry for jobs with disable-telemetry set to true. No telemetry was uploaded as the endpoint was not in the allowed list.

v2.9.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Release v2.9.0 by @​h0x0er and @​varunsh-coder in https://github.com/step-security/harden-runner/pull/435
This release includes:

• Enterprise Tier - Telemetry Upload Enhancement:
  For the enterprise tier, this change helps overcome size constraints, allowing for more reliable telemetry uploads from the Harden-Runner agent to the StepSecurity backend API. No configuration change is needed to enable this.
• Harden-Runner Agent Authentication:
  The Harden-Runner agent now uses a per-job key to authenticate to the StepSecurity backend API to submit telemetry. This change prevents the submission of telemetry data anonymously for a given job, improving the integrity of the data collection process. No configuration change is needed to enable this.
• README Update:
  A Table of Contents has been added to the README file to improve navigation. This makes it easier for users to find the information they need quickly.
• Dependency Update:
  Updated the braces npm package dependency to a non-vulnerable version. The vulnerability in braces did not affect the Harden Runner Action
