Shouldn't you always read & double-check the 3rd-party GitHub actions you use, anyway? (Forking or copying their code alone doesn't solve the issue you mention any more than pinning a SHA does.)

Double checking Github actions does not mitigate threats from supply chain vulnerabilities. Forking an action moves the trust from a random developer to yourself. You still have to make sure the action is pulling in dependencies from trusted sources which can also be yourself depending on how far you want to go.
