Potential fix for https://github.com/ColorCop/colorcop-website/security/code-scanning/1
In general, the fix is to explicitly define
permissions:for the workflow or for thedeployjob so that theGITHUB_TOKENhas only the minimal scopes needed. Since this workflow only checks out code and then talks to AWS with long‑lived credentials, it likely needs only read access to repository contents.The best minimal change is to add a
permissions:block at the workflow (root) level, near the top of.github/workflows/deploy.yml, specifyingcontents: read. This applies to all jobs in the workflow (currently justdeploy) and satisfies the CodeQL rule by limiting theGITHUB_TOKENwhile preserving existing behavior. No other lines need to be changed, and no additional imports or methods are required.Concretely: in
.github/workflows/deploy.yml, after thename: Deployline (line 1) and before theon:block, insert:This keeps the workflow functionally identical while constraining the implicit token permissions.
