Potential fix for https://github.com/VirtualCable/uds-client/security/code-scanning/7
To fix the problem, add a
permissionsfield at the workflow or job level to specify the minimum required permissions for the workflow’sGITHUB_TOKEN. In this workflow, none of the actions seem to require write permissions—there are no steps creating PRs, modifying issues, or pushing to the repository. The only potential use of permissions is downloading/uploading artifacts, but that utilizes theactions/upload-artifactaction, which does not need elevated permissions beyond the default. Therefore, settingpermissions: { contents: read }at the workflow’s root (just below thename) is the correct and minimal fix. This follows least-privilege principles and satisfies the security recommendation.You only need to add the following block (with correct YAML indentation) after the
nameline.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
