Potential fix for https://github.com/github/chatops-controller/security/code-scanning/1
The best way to fix this problem is to add a
permissions:block to the workflow, specifying the minimum required privilege. Since the workflow only needs to check out code and install/test dependencies (no write operations to the repository, issues, or pull requests), the minimal permissioncontents: readis adequate. This should be added at the root level of the workflow YAML file, immediately after thename:and before theon:key, to apply to all jobs in the workflow unless overridden at the job level. No imports or special definitions are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
