Potential fix for https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-machine-image/security/code-scanning/7
In general, the fix is to add an explicit
permissionsblock either at the workflow root (applies to all jobs) or within the specific job that needs it. For this workflow, the job only needs to read repository contents (for checkout) and run commands in Docker containers; there’s no indication that it needs to write to the repo, PRs, issues, etc. Therefore, we can safely restrictGITHUB_TOKENtocontents: read.The best minimal fix without changing functionality is to add a top-level
permissionssection right after theon:block. This will apply to thebuildjob (and any future jobs that don’t override permissions) and setcontents: readas recommended by CodeQL. No other changes to steps, commands, or actions are required. The edit will be in.github/workflows/build.yml, inserting:at the root level, aligned with
on:andjobs:. No imports or external libraries are involved.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
