In addition to Ubuntu & Windows, GitHub Actions now attaches a SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) to hosted runner image releases for macOS. In the context of GitHub Actions hosted runners, an SBOM details the software pre-installed on the virtual machine that is running your Actions workflows. This is useful in the situation where there is a vulnerability detected, you will be able to quickly tell if you are affected or not. If you are building artifacts, you can include this SBOM in your bill of materials for a comprehensive list of everything that went into creating your software.
To check out the new files, head over to the runner-images repository release page now or check out our docs for more information.
