Potential fix for https://github.com/lsalenson/invars/security/code-scanning/1
In general, this problem is fixed by adding an explicit
permissionsblock to the workflow (at the top level or per job) that grants only the minimal scopes required. For a simple Rust CI workflow that only checks out code and runscargocommands, GitHub’s recommended minimal permissions arecontents: read, which allow reading the repository contents but prevent write operations such as pushing commits or modifying release assets.The best fix here, without changing behavior, is to add a workflow-level
permissionssection right after thename:(or beforejobs:) so that it applies to all jobs. Concretely, in.github/workflows/rust.yml, add:aligned with
name:andon:(top-level keys). No other changes are needed because the existing steps (checkout, build, test) all work with read-only contents access. No imports or additional methods are required, since this is purely a YAML configuration change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
