In general, the fix is to explicitly define a
permissionsblock to restrict theGITHUB_TOKENto the minimal required scope. For this workflow, the steps are: set up Go, check out the repository, and run tests. These operations only require read access to repository contents, and no write access or special scopes (likeissues,pull-requests, etc.). Therefore, the least-privilege fix is to addpermissions: contents: read.The single best way to fix this without changing existing functionality is to add a top-level
permissionsblock, so it applies to all jobs (currently justbuild). This keeps the YAML simple and ensures any future jobs inherit the restricted permissions by default unless they explicitly override them. Concretely, edit.github/workflows/runtests.yamlto insert:between the
on:andjobs:keys. No additional imports, methods, or other definitions are needed; this is purely a configuration change in the workflow YAML.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
