Potential fix for https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense/security/code-scanning/3
To fix this problem, an explicit
permissionsblock needs to be added, containing only the minimum required privileges for this workflow. The job creates pull requests through thepeter-evans/create-pull-requestaction, so it needspull-requests: writepermission. For most use cases,contents: readis also specified to maintain repository read access, but elevated permissions likecontents: writeare not required since all code changes are pushed through a PR, not directly to the default branch.The best way to fix this is to add the following at the root (top-level) of the workflow YAML file (after the
nameand beforeon:block):Alternatively, you can add it within the specific job, but top-level is preferred as it is more clear and applies to all jobs unless individually overridden.
File/line to change:
.github/workflows/contributors.yml, just after thename: Update Contributorsline (beforeon:).No new imports or methods are required for this change.
