Potential fix for https://github.com/node-oauth/express-oauth-server/security/code-scanning/28
To fix the problem, explicitly set least-privilege
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for this workflow. Since this workflow only checks out code, installs dependencies, runs tests, lints, builds docs, and checks coverage, it only needs read access to repository contents. No steps require write access to the repo, issues, pull requests, or other scopes.The best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a
permissionsblock at the workflow root (top level, alongsidenameandon). This will apply to all jobs in the workflow, includingunittest, and limit the token appropriately. Specifically, in.github/workflows/tests.yml, after thename: Testsline (line 1), insert:This change requires no additional imports, methods, or definitions, and does not alter any job logic; it only changes the default token scope.
