Potential fix for https://github.com/octokit/request-error.js/security/code-scanning/11
To fix the problem, we should explicitly add a
permissionsblock to the workflow, setting the minimum required permissions for theGITHUB_TOKEN. Since the existing jobs primarily perform code scanning and do not appear to need write access (such as creating issues or modifying pull requests), the minimal permission should becontents: read. This can be set either at the workflow (root) level (applies to all jobs), or at the job level (applies only to the job). The best approach is to add it at the root, to ensure least privilege for all jobs now and in the future.Specifically, insert
after the
name:field and before theon:block in.github/workflows/codeql.yml.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
