Potential fix for https://github.com/devops-ia/self-learning-platform/security/code-scanning/3
In general, the fix is to explicitly restrict
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions using apermissionsblock instead of relying on repository defaults. The least intrusive and clearest approach is to add a single top‑levelpermissionsblock that applies to all jobs, settingcontents: readas recommended by CodeQL. None of the jobs perform actions that require write access to repository contents, issues, or pull requests; they only read code and upload artifacts, which does not require elevated repository scopes.Concretely, edit
.github/workflows/lint-test.ymlnear the top of the file, after theon:section (lines 3–5) and before thejobs:key (line 7). Insert:This sets the default
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for all jobs in this workflow to read-only repository contents, satisfying the CodeQL recommendation and documenting the workflow’s needs without changing its functionality.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
