Potential fix for https://github.com/arnested/go-version-action/security/code-scanning/8
To fix the issue, set an explicit
permissionsblock granting only the minimal required permissions to the GITHUB_TOKEN for this workflow. Since none of the shown workflow steps require write or elevated permissions (there are no steps for checking in code, opening issues, or modifying PRs), it is appropriate to addpermissions: { contents: read }at the top-level of the workflow. This restricts the GITHUB_TOKEN to only have read access to repository contents for all jobs in this workflow, satisfying CodeQL and security best-practices. The permission block should be inserted after thename: Build and testline (i.e., as line 3). No other workflow, code, or method changes are necessary.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
