Potential fix for https://github.com/N0tHorizon/WindowsTelemetryBlocker/security/code-scanning/7
In general, you fix this issue by explicitly setting a
permissionsblock in the workflow (at the root or per job) to restrict theGITHUB_TOKENto only what is needed. For a workflow that merely checks the environment and uploads artifacts, no repository write permissions are required; read access to contents is sufficient, and in many cases the token can be fully disabled.The best fix here, without changing behavior, is to add a root‑level
permissionsblock just under theon:section, applying to all jobs. Because this workflow only reads the code (viaactions/checkout) and uploads artifacts (which does not require GITHUB_TOKEN),contents: readis a safe, minimal choice that still allows checkout to function. No other scopes (likepull-requests,issues, etc.) are needed based on the shown steps. Concretely, in.github/workflows/env-matrix.yml, add:between the
on:block (line 3–7) and thejobs:block (line 9). No imports or additional methods are required since this is pure YAML configuration.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
