Bumps step-security/harden-runner from 2.16.1 to 2.18.0.

Release notes

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

v2.18.0

What's Changed

Global Block List: During supply chain incidents like the recent axios and trivy compromises, StepSecurity will add known malicious domains and IP addresses (IOCs) to a global block list. These will be automatically blocked, even in audit mode, providing immediate protection without requiring any workflow changes.

Deploy on Self-Hosted VM: Added deploy-on-self-hosted-vm input that allows the Harden Runner agent to be installed directly on ephemeral self-hosted Linux runner VMs at workflow runtime. This is intended as an alternative when baking the agent into the VM image is not possible.

Full Changelog: step-security/harden-runner@v2.17.0...v2.18.0

v2.17.0

What's Changed

Policy Store Support

Added use-policy-store and api-key inputs to fetch security policies directly from the StepSecurity Policy Store. Policies can be defined and attached at the workflow, repo, org, or cluster (ARC) level, with the most granular policy taking precedence. This is the preferred method over the existing policy input which requires id-token: write permission. If no policy is found in the store, the action defaults to audit mode.
