Potential fix for https://github.com/bdk38/HellPot/security/code-scanning/4
In general, the fix is to add an explicit
permissionsblock that restricts theGITHUB_TOKENto the least privileges necessary. For this workflow, the steps only read the repository contents (viaactions/checkout) and fetch/install external Go tools; they do not create releases, push commits, comment on issues, or otherwise need write scopes. The minimal safe choice is to grantcontents: readat the workflow or job level.The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a workflow-level
permissionsblock right under thename: Vibe Checkline. This will apply to all jobs in the workflow (here: thebuildjob) and limit theGITHUB_TOKENto read-only access to repository contents. No imports or additional methods are needed because this is purely a YAML configuration change.Concretely, edit
.github/workflows/go.ymland insert:after line 1 (
name: Vibe Check). All other lines remain unchanged.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
