What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine update to the version of the GitHub Actions 'checkout' tool used by the project's automated testing pipeline. The new version includes a security improvement that blocks risky checkouts for certain trigger types, but the project already uses safe settings (no persistent credentials, full history fetch). It does not change the Bitcoin library code that users install.
No immediate action required beyond normal review. Verify that the pinned commit hash 9c091bb21b7c1c1d1991bb908d89e4e9dddfe3e0 matches the official actions/checkout v7.0.0 release and that existing workflow permissions remain minimal.
Security signals we found
Dependency bump of actions/checkout to a major version with a security-hardening change
Release notes mention blocking unsafe fork PR checkout for pull_request_target/workflow_run
Workflow already uses persist-credentials: false, reducing credential-exposure risk
No changes to library source code or public API
Evidence from the diff
The commit bumps actions/checkout from v6.0.2 to v7.0.0 in .github/workflows/rust.yml. The v7.0.0 release notes highlight a security-hardening change: blocking checkout of fork PRs for pull_request_target and workflow_run triggers. The project’s workflow already sets persist-credentials: false and fetch-depth: 0, so the direct exploit surface is minimal. This is a CI/CD dependency update, not a code change in the rust-bitcoin crate itself.
