Potential fix for https://github.com/cego/container-manager/security/code-scanning/8
To fix the problem, explicitly limit the
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions used by this workflow. Since the job only checks out code and runsgolangci-lint, it only requires read access to the repository contents. The simplest and safest fix is to add apermissionsblock withcontents: read. This can be placed either at the workflow root (applies to all jobs) or inside thegolangcijob. Because there is only one job, either is fine; using the root makes it obvious the entire workflow is read‑only.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/lint.yml, insert apermissions:section near the top, after theon:declaration, withcontents: read. No imports or additional methods are needed, since this is YAML configuration for GitHub Actions and not executable code in the usual sense. Existing functionality (linting on push) remains unchanged; only the token’s capabilities are restricted.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
