The proper fix is to add a
permissionsblock at the workflow or job level to explicitly specify the minimum set of privileges required by the workflow. In this particular workflow, actions/checkout and formatting tools typically do not need write access; read access is generally sufficient unless you want to commit formatting changes back (which this workflow does not appear to do). Therefore, addingpermissions: contents: readto the workflow root (so it applies to all jobs) is the most straightforward and appropriate fix, and will resolve the CodeQL warning.You need to insert the following after the
name:block and before theon:keyword in.github/workflows/google-java-format.yml:No further changes, imports, or definitions are required.
