Thank you Daniel.

All, I have tried to debug and better understand the situation.
This should be the list of all the actions currently allowed by Infra:

1) All the actions from the following namespaces are automatically allowed:
apache/*
github/*
actions/*

2) All the actions explicitly listed in this file are also allowed:
https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-actions/blob/main/actions.yml

Since ofbiz-framework is using actions from step-security/*, that are not
allowed by the above rules, our CI/CD pipeline is currently broken.

My question is: do we really need to leverage step-security/* actions? When
did we decide to onboard these external actions from Step Security? I
assume we could configure our workflows to use the subset of actions that
are used by the other ASF projects, and this would be my preference.
Alternatively, I think we should ask Infra to review for approval the Step
Security actions we need.
