Potential fix for https://github.com/codeharborhub/codeharborhub.github.io/security/code-scanning/1811
To fix the problem, declare explicit
permissionsfor the workflow so that theGITHUB_TOKENis limited to what the job actually needs. This workflow reads open issues and then closes some of them and posts comments, so it requiresissues: write. It does not need to modify repository contents, workflows, or other resources, so other permissions can remain at their default ofnone. The cleanest approach is to add apermissionsblock at the job level (close-issues), right underruns-on: ubuntu-latest, so the scope applies only to this job.Concretely, edit
.github/workflows/close-old-issue.ymland, beneathruns-on: ubuntu-latest, insert:This preserves all existing behavior (the API calls will continue to work) while constraining the token to the minimum required privilege. No additional methods, imports, or definitions are needed.
