Potential fix for https://github.com/FSU-ACM/Programming-Contest-Suite/security/code-scanning/1
The recommended fix is to add a
permissionsblock at the root level (top of the workflow YAML), directly after thename:, settingcontents: read. This will limit the GITHUB_TOKEN to only allow reading the repository contents, which is sufficient for the steps shown (checkout, setup Python, install dependencies, run Pylint). This change is minimal, non-breaking, and adoptable on almost any workflow like this.File/lines to change:
.github/workflows/pylint.ymlname: Pylintheader and before theon:key, the following lines:No other imports, method changes, or modifications are required.
