Potential fix for https://github.com/impresscms-dev/filter-php-class-list-with-glob-like-rules-action/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the issue, a
permissionssection needs to be explicitly set to the job or workflow to restrictGITHUB_TOKENusage to the minimum required for the workflow steps. For this specific workflow, the merge and approval actions only need to interact with pull requests and, potentially, have read access for repository contents. The best way to fix it is to add apermissions:block just above thesteps:in themergejob, settingcontents: readandpull-requests: write. This limits the job to only what it needs. No imports or special definitions are required since this is a YAML workflow change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
Description by Korbit AI
What change is being made?
Add explicit permissions for
contents: readandpull-requests: writeto the "Merge" job in the GitHub workflowdependabot.yml.Why are these changes being made?
This change addresses a code scanning alert indicating that the workflow lacked defined permissions, which is a security vulnerability. Specifying the necessary permissions explicitly ensures that the workflow has the least privilege needed for its actions, enhancing security and maintaining compliance with GitHub's best practices.
