… [citest_skip] The pandoc conversion part of the workflow does not need write access, so refactor that into a separate job. Add permissions to woke because it does not need write permisssion. The latest security guidance is to use the full commit hash, which is immutable, instead of a tag or version, which can be mutable, for the reference to a version of a github action. There are known attacks which inserted unauthorized code in a version tag and moved the tag. This prevents this sort of attack, at the cost of more maintenance burden, but dependabot will largely take care of this for us. We already did this for the other workflows, this is specific for the build_docs workflow. Signed-off-by: Rich Megginson <rmeggins@redhat.com>
