Potential fix for https://github.com/bumahkib7/rust-monorepo-analyzer/security/code-scanning/468
In general, the fix is to add an explicit
permissionsblock that grants only the minimal required scopes for the GITHUB_TOKEN. For a pure CI workflow that only checks out code and runs build/lint/test steps,contents: readis typically sufficient. Since none of the jobs in this workflow create releases, push commits, comment on PRs, or otherwise modify GitHub resources, a single top-levelpermissions:block withcontents: readis the safest and simplest fix.The best fix here is to add a workflow-level
permissions:section near the top of.github/workflows/ci.yml(for example, after theon:section) so it applies to all jobs (fmt,clippy, andtest) without needing to duplicate configuration. Specifically, insert:This restricts the automatically provided
GITHUB_TOKENto read-only access to repository contents, which is enough foractions/checkout@v4and the caching action, and it documents the expectations clearly. No changes are needed inside the individual jobs or steps.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
