v3.0.0

What's changed

Migration

# Before
- uses: gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2
After

uses: gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v3

Why

GitHub is deprecating the Node 20 runtime for Actions:

• June 2, 2026: GitHub flips the runner default to Node 24. Workflows using gitleaks-action@v2 (Node 20) will still run, but only if ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true is set as an environment variable.
• September 16, 2026: Node 20 is removed from GitHub-hosted runners entirely. gitleaks-action@v2 stops working regardless of any opt-out flag.

Changes

• action.yml: runtime node20 → node24
• @actions/core: 1.10.0 → 1.11.1
• dist/ rebuilt
• Example workflows updated to actions/checkout@v6 and gitleaks-action@v3
• README updated with v3 migration guide

Self-hosted runners

If you use self-hosted runners, ensure your runner version is >= v2.327.1 (required for Node 24 support).
