Potential fix for https://github.com/mbifulco/blog/security/code-scanning/6

To fix the issue, explicitly declare the least required privileges using the permissions: key. Since the workflow only checks out code and runs linting/dependency tools, it only needs read access to the repository contents. Add permissions: contents: read at either the root level of the workflow (applies to all jobs), or at the lint job level (applies only to that job). The best-practice, most maintainable way is to add it at the root level―immediately after the name: entry and before on:―so all future jobs in this workflow inherit these reduced privileges unless overridden.

You only need to add:

permissions:
  contents: read

No imports or definitions are needed. Add this block after the name: Lint and Dependency Checks line.
