Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 3: Workflow does not contain permissions

[jakubno]

Potential fix for https://github.com/e2b-dev/fragments/security/code-scanning/3

In general, to fix this type of issue you explicitly declare a permissions block for the workflow or individual job(s), granting only the specific scopes and access levels needed. For read-only validation or CI jobs that do not modify repository data or GitHub resources, this typically means contents: read (and occasionally other read scopes if needed).

For this specific workflow, the validate-renovate-config job only checks out the repository and runs github-action-renovate-config-validator, which reads Renovate configuration files but does not need to write to the repo or interact with issues/PRs. The safest and least-privilege fix is to add a permissions block at the job level, directly under runs-on, setting contents: read. This avoids changing behavior while constraining GITHUB_TOKEN. No imports or external dependencies are involved, as this is a YAML workflow configuration, not application code.

Concretely:

• Edit .github/workflows/validate-renovate-config.yaml.

• Under jobs.validate-renovate-config.runs-on: ubuntu-24.04, add:

      permissions:
        contents: read

This limits the job’s GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only repository contents, which is sufficient for checkout and validation.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Note

Low Risk
Workflow-only change that tightens GitHub Actions token permissions without altering build logic or production code paths.

Overview
Adds an explicit least-privilege permissions block to the validate-renovate-config GitHub Actions job, limiting GITHUB_TOKEN to contents: read while validating the Renovate configuration.
