Generate SLSA provenance for a container image in GitHub Actions with slsa-github-generator

Verified steps

  1. Add a GitHub Actions workflow that calls the slsa-github-generator container generator workflow at .github/workflows/generator_container_slsa3.yml in the slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator repository
  2. Pass the required inputs including image digest (sha256:...) and optionally the image registry and tags
  3. Ensure the calling workflow grants id-token: write and contents: read permissions so the generator can sign provenance with a short-lived OIDC token
  4. The generator produces SLSA Build Level 3 provenance; there is no L2 container generator in slsa-github-generator
  5. After the workflow completes, the signed provenance attestation is published to the OCI registry alongside the image
  6. Verify the resulting attestation using slsa-verifier or cosign verify-attestation with appropriate policy flags
