Potential fix for https://github.com/hippieZhou/hippiezhou.github.io/security/code-scanning/5

How to fix:
Add an explicit permissions section 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:

permissions:
  contents: read
  issues: write

This should be placed at either the top level (applies to all jobs) or as part of the dependency-check job (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 the name: Dependency Check & Security Audit line (i.e., before the on:). No imports or additional changes are needed.
