Potential fix for https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourceLearningPath/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the problem, set an explicit
permissionsblock in the workflow file, which restricts the default permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN. As there is no evidence in the workflow file that it needs to modify code, open issues, or perform other write operations on the repository, the most restrictive appropriate permissions setting iscontents: read. This can be set at the root of the workflow (applies to all jobs), or specifically for thevalejob. The most typical approach (and as recommended by the error) is to add it at the top-level, just after the workflowname. No imports or code definitions are necessary for this change; just the addition of a top-level permissions block. Only .github/workflows/vale.yml must be modified.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
