Workflow does not contain permissions Medium

Actions job or workflow does not limit the permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN. Consider setting an explicit permissions block, using the following as a minimal starting point: {contents: read}

Copilot Autofix

AI about 20 hours ago

  • In general, the fix is to explicitly specify a permissions block at the job or workflow level, restricting the GITHUB_TOKEN to only what the job needs, typically contents: read for read-only workflows.
  • For this workflow, the static-code-checks job only needs to check out code and run git/grep locally. It does not push changes, create releases, or modify issues/PRs. So we should add permissions: contents: read to that job. This mirrors the existing restriction already present on the build job (lines 10–11).
  • Concretely, in .github/workflows/pr-build.yml, under jobs: static-code-checks:, add a permissions: block at the same indentation level as runs-on. For example, between lines 65 and 66, insert: 
    permissions:
  contents: read
  • No extra imports or methods are required; this is purely a YAML configuration change within the workflow.
