Potential fix for https://github.com/advanced-security/secret-scanning-custom-patterns/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the problem, an explicit
permissionsblock should be added at the workflow or job level to limit the privileges granted to the defaultGITHUB_TOKEN. The minimal recommended setting iscontents: read, which allows the workflow steps to read repository contents but not modify them. Since the workflow uses a GitHub App token to perform actions like PR comments, additional permissions (likepull-requests: write) for the defaultGITHUB_TOKENmay not be needed unless the workflow fails with permission errors. The edit should be made at the root of the workflow YAML file (right aftername: Markdown Validation) or under the individual job if some jobs require different permissions. This involves adding:If you discover later that the workflow requires additional permissions for the default token, you can incrementally allow them. For now, just add this block beneath the
nameline.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
