In general, the fix is to explicitly declare
permissionsfor theGITHUB_TOKENin the workflow, either at the root level (applies to all jobs) or per job. Since this workflow currently has just one job (build) that only needs to read repository contents to check out the code, the least-privilege configuration is to setcontents: read. This both satisfies CodeQL and adheres to GitHub’s recommended baseline.The single best fix without changing functionality is to add a
permissionsblock under thebuildjob (or alternatively at the root level) granting only read access to repository contents. Concretely, in.github/workflows/build.yml, insert:right after
runs-on: ubuntu-latest(line 11). No other steps need write access, andactions/checkoutworks withcontents: read. No imports or external tools are required; it’s a pure YAML configuration change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
