In general, the fix is to explicitly define a minimal
permissions:block for the workflow or for the specific job, instead of relying on repository defaults. Because this workflow only reads GitHub context values and does not perform any GitHub write operations, we can safely restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only.The best targeted fix here is to add a
permissions:section at the job level fortrigger-jenkins, directly underruns-on: ubuntu-latest. That makes the job self-contained and ensures the GITHUB_TOKEN has only read access. A minimal and clear configuration is:or, if you prefer a single-line shorthand for all read permissions:
Given the current usage,
