Potential fix for https://github.com/hippieZhou/hippiezhou.github.io/security/code-scanning/5
How to fix:
Add an explicit
permissionssection to the workflow, ideally at the job (or workflow root) level. The workflow needs read access to repository contents (for checkout and reading files) and write access to issues (for programmatically creating issues about dependencies or vulnerabilities).Detailed fix:
The ideal minimal permission set is:
This should be placed at either the top level (applies to all jobs) or as part of the
dependency-checkjob (within that job's block). Both are effective, but the workflow-level root is simpler and applies globally, which is desirable for single-job workflows.What to change:
In
.github/workflows/dependency-check.yml, add the following after thename: Dependency Check & Security Auditline (i.e., before theon:). No imports or additional changes are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
