Potential fix for https://github.com/microsoft/AcademicContent/security/code-scanning/5
To fix the problem, explicitly set the
permissionsblock in the workflow file to restrict theGITHUB_TOKENto the least privilege required. Since this workflow only runs a linter and does not need to write to the repository or interact with issues or pull requests, the minimal required permission iscontents: read. This can be set at the workflow level (applies to all jobs) or at the job level. The best practice is to add the following at the top level of the workflow file, just after thenamefield and beforeon, to ensure all jobs inherit these minimal permissions.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
