Updates step-security/harden-runner from 2.14.0 to 2.14.1

Release notes

Sourced from step-security/harden-runner's releases.

v2.14.1

What's Changed

1. In some self-hosted environments, the agent could briefly fall back to public DNS resolvers during startup if the system DNS was not yet available. This behavior was unintended for GitHub-hosted runners and has now been fixed to prevent any use of public DNS resolvers.

2. Fixed npm audit vulnerabilities

Changelog

5.0.1

• Update @azure/storage-blob to ^12.29.1 via @actions/cache@5.0.1 #1685

[!IMPORTANT] actions/cache@v5 runs on the Node.js 24 runtime and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.

• Bump @actions/cache to v4.1.0

4.2.4

• Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.5

4.2.3

4.2.2

4.2.1

• Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.1

4.2.0

TLDR; The cache backend service has been rewritten from the ground up for improved performance and reliability. actions/cache now integrates with the new cache service (v2) APIs.

The new service will gradually roll out as of February 1st, 2025. The legacy service will also be sunset on the same date. Changes in these release are fully backward compatible.

We are deprecating some versions of this action. We recommend upgrading to version v4 or v3 as soon as possible before February 1st, 2025. (Upgrade instructions below).

If you are using pinned SHAs, please use the SHAs of versions v4.2.0 or v3.4.0

If you do not upgrade, all workflow runs using any of the deprecated actions/cache will fail.
