To fix the problem, explicitly restrict the
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions to the minimum needed by this workflow. These jobs only need to read repository contents and possibly read packages; they do not perform any write operations to GitHub resources. The simplest and safest fix is to add apermissions:block at the top level of the workflow (alongsidenameandon) so it applies to all jobs that don't override it, settingcontents: read. If you know the workflow never needs to access packages, you can omitpackages: read; otherwise you can include it for clarity.Concretely, edit
.github/workflows/test.ymland insert apermissions:section after thename:(line 1) and before theon:key (line 3). For example:No additional methods, imports, or definitions are required; this is purely a YAML workflow configuration change. This will ensure the
GITHUB_TOKENhas only read access to repository contents for all jobs in this workflow, satisfying the CodeQL rule and adhering to least privilege without changing the behavior of any existing steps.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
