Potential fix for https://github.com/qavajs/steps-memory/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the referenced problem, add a
permissionsblock explicitly either at the workflow root (to apply to all jobs), or at the job (publish-npm) level. Since this workflow only has a single job, either approach works; most maintainers put it at the root for future extensibility. As this workflow publishes to npm (which uses secrets for authentication rather than GITHUB_TOKEN), the only GitHub permission needed is for reading and possibly writing repository contents (esp. if tagging or making changes, but in this workflow, only publishing from existing contents). By least privilege, setpermissions: contents: readat the root. However, if you know for sure thatnpm publish(with this setup) occasionally needs to update repotags, considercontents: write. The safest minimal change is to add:directly under the
name:key, i.e., at the top of the file before theonblock.No new methods or imports are required for this fix—just add the correct configuration lines.
