Potential fix for https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-application-signals-test-framework/security/code-scanning/11
To fix this issue, add a
permissions
block to the workflow, specifying the least privilege required. Since the workflow includes only read operations (checking out code, running analysis/build steps, and validating jobs), the minimal required permission iscontents: read
. This means the job and GITHUB_TOKEN will be restricted to read repository contents, preventing accidental or malicious write operations. The best way is to add the following block after the workflowname
and beforeon:
in.github/workflows/pr-build.yml
:No additional imports, methods, or definitions are required; this is a configuration change in the YAML file. No other code changes are needed.
