Potential fix for https://github.com/404CellPhoneRepair/Github-Examples/security/code-scanning/1
In general, this issue is fixed by adding an explicit
permissionsblock to the workflow (at the root or per-job) that grants only the minimal access needed. For a simple workflow that just runs an action and echoes its output, there is usually no need for any write permissions, and in many casescontents: readis sufficient as a conservative default.For this specific workflow, we can safely add a minimal
permissionsblock at the workflow root so it applies to all jobs (includingmy-job). Since the shown steps do not require any write operations, we setcontents: read. This documents the intended privilege level and ensuresGITHUB_TOKENis not over-privileged even if repository defaults are broader. Concretely, we will insert:between the
on: [push]line and thejobs:block in.github/workflows/custom-action.yml. No imports or additional definitions are needed, and it does not alter the existing workflow logic.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
