Potential fix for https://github.com/houselearning/Clean/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem, explicitly declare a
permissionsblock for the workflow/job so that theGITHUB_TOKENused via${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}has only the privileges required. This avoids inheriting potentially broad repository defaults and documents the workflow’s intended permissions.Given only the provided snippet, we should add a job-level
permissionsblock undercreate-clean-pr. At a minimum, to satisfy the CodeQL recommendation and keep the workflow functional in the most conservative way, we can setcontents: read, allowing code checkout while not granting write access to the repository contents. Ifgenerate_clean_pr.jsneeds to create or modify pull requests or issues, additional, more specific write scopes likepull-requests: writeorissues: writecan later be added, but we should not assume that without seeing the script. Therefore, the safest change that does not knowingly alter existing behavior from this snippet’s perspective is to add:beneath the job definition. No new imports, methods, or other definitions are required; this is purely a YAML configuration change in
.github/workflows/create-clean-pr.yml.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
