  Many thanks to @shaanmajid for proposing and implementing this improvement!

• zizmor's CLI help and usage output now uses a custom color scheme for improved readability (#1747)

• The secrets-outside-env audit is now configurable with an allowlist of secret names that should not be flagged, even when referenced outside of an environment (#1759)

  Many thanks to @rmuir for proposing and implementing this improvement!

• The dependabot-cooldown audit now emits a pedantic finding whenever it encounters a cooldown used with a multi-ecosystem-group, as the two do not interact well (#1780)

• Recommend gh release upload as a replacement for svenstaro/upload-release-action in superfluous-actions (#1801)

  Many thanks to @deckstose for implementing this improvement!

• The ref-version-mismatch audit now uses a more useful audit description for its findings (#1843)

• The unpinned-images audit now produces more precise findings for image references that are computed through expressions (#1756)

  Many thanks to @miketheman for implementing this improvement!

  Many thanks to @shaanmajid for proposing and implementing this improvement!

Bug Fixes 🐛🔗

• Fixed a bug where the concurrency-limits audit reported findings at the job level instead of the workflow level (#1627)

• Fixed a bug where with: ${{ expr }} clauses would cause a crash. artipacked audit emits a pedantic finding on such clauses. (#1772)

• Fixed a bug where auto-fixes for the template-injection audit would fail to preserve an environment variable's casing (#1766)

• Fixed a bug where the secrets-outside-env audit would incorrectly flag reusable workflows (#1777)

• Fixed a bug where expressions containing Infinity or NaN would fail to parse (#1778)

• Fixed several bugs where some parenthetical forms in expressions would fail to parse (#1779, #1856)

• Fixed a bug where expressions with invalid identifiers (such as -Inf) would be incorrectly accepted (#1794)

• Fixed a bug where the known-vulnerable-actions audit would fail to handle multiple discrete packages in a single advisory (#1810)

• Fixed a bug where the template-injection audit would incorrectly flag needs.*.result as an injection risk in the default persona (#1814)

• Fixed a bug where the unpinned-uses audit would product incorrect auto-fixes for actions with subpaths (#1841)

• Fixed a bug where the ref-version-mismatch audit would fail to produce findings for comments containing nonexistent refs (#1853)

• Fixed a bug where expressions containing NaN would be constant-evaluated incorrectly (#1858)

• Fixed a bug where nix would not be recognized as a package-ecosystem in dependabot.yml (#1867)

• Fixed a bug where the ref-version-mismatch audit would incorrectly parse prerelease version comments (such as # v6-beta), causing some findings to appear unresolvable (#1870)

• Fixed a bug where various string comparisons in expressions did not perfectly match GitHub's own special uppercasing semantics (#1879)

• Fixed a bug where zizmor would incorrectly contact github.com instead of the user's requested --gh-hostname for some online requests (#1874)

• Fixed a bug where the artipacked audit would fail to honor the --no-online-audits flag (#1874)

Changes ⚠️🔗

• The secrets-outside-env audit now only flags findings with the 'auditor' persona, due to numerous false positives and negatives caused by GitHub's platform limitations (primarily around interactions between environment secrets and reusable workflows) (#1777)

• zizmor's handling of GitHub Actions expressions has been made stricter, and now rejects unknown functions and function calls with incorrect arities (#1823, #1826)

• The superfluous-actions audit now uses the "pedantic" persona for some findings along with a medium or low confidence marker to signal when a action may not be easily replaced with built-in functionality (#1822, #1859)

• The unpinned-uses audit no longer suggests auto-fixes for Git references that don't look like version tags, such as main (#1860)

• The template-injection audit now considers more "URL-shaped" contexts to be fully attacker-controllable, rather than partially controllable (#1868)
