Bumps actions/dependency-review-action from 4 to 4.9.0.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/dependency-review-action's releases.

Dependency Review Action 4.9.0

This feature release contains a couple of notable changes:

  • There is a new configuration option show_patched_versions which will add a column to the output, showing the fix version of each vulnerable dependency. Thanks @​felickz!
  • Runs which do not display OpenSSF scorecards no longer fetch scorecard information; previously it was fetched regardless of whether or not it was displayed, causing unneccessary slowness. Great catch @​jantiebot!
  • There are a couple of fixes to purl parsing which should improve match accuracy for allow-package-dependency lists, including case (in)sensitivity and url-encoded namespaces Thanks @​juxtin!

4.8.3

Dependency Review Action v4.8.3

This is a bugfix release that updates a number of upstream dependencies and includes a fix for the earlier feature that detected oversized summaries and upload them as artifacts, which could occasionally crash the action.

We have also updated the release process to use a long-lived v4 branch for the action, instead of a force-pushed tag, which aligns better with git branching strategies; the change should be transparent to end users.

🤖 Claude Code Review

PR Code Review

Summary: Single-line change pinning actions/dependency-review-action from the v4 floating tag to the explicit v4.9.0 version.


Code Quality

  • Style guide — Workflow file structure is unchanged; no style issues introduced.
  • No commented-out code — None present.
  • Meaningful variable names — N/A for this change.
  • DRY principle — N/A for this change.
  • Defects — No bugs, logic errors, or security issues introduced. Pinning to a specific version (v4.9.0) is actually a security improvement over a mutable floating tag (v4), as it prevents unexpected behavior from upstream changes.
  • CLAUDE.md — No concerns; this change does not affect local development environment configuration.

Testing

  • Unit/integration tests — Not applicable for a CI workflow version bump.
  • Edge cases / coverage — Not applicable.

Documentation

  • README — No update needed.
  • API docs — Not applicable.
  • Inline comments — Not applicable.
  • CHANGELOG.md — Not present in this repo's tracked files for dependency bumps; acceptable for automated dependency PRs.
  • Markdown formatting — No markdown changes.

Security

  • No hardcoded credentials — None.
  • Input validation — Not applicable.
  • Error handling — Not applicable.
  • Sensitive data in logs — Not applicable.
  • License files — No .lic files or AQAAAD-prefixed strings present.

Verdict: APPROVED — This is a routine Dependabot version pin. Pinning to v4.9.0 is preferable to the mutable v4 tag from a supply-chain security standpoint. No issues found.
