This PR addresses the requirement to ensure correct CodeQL workflow permissions by verifying that jobs running "github/codeql-action/analyze" have "security-events: write" permission defined at the job-level, not at the root-level.

Analysis Results

After thorough analysis of all GitHub workflows in the repository, I found that the repository is already compliant with the CodeQL workflow permissions requirements:

✅ Primary CodeQL Workflow (.github/workflows/codeql.yml)

  • Uses github/codeql-action/analyze action
  • Has security-events: write permission correctly defined at job-level (lines 27-30)
  • Root-level permissions only include contents: read (lines 21-22)

✅ OSSF Scorecard Workflow (.github/workflows/ossf-scorecard.yml)

  • Uses github/codeql-action/upload-sarif action
  • Has security-events: write permission correctly defined at job-level (line 18)

Current Configuration

The CodeQL workflow already follows best practices:

permissions:
  contents: read  # Root level - minimal permissions

jobs:
  analyze:
    permissions:
      contents: read
      actions: read  
      security-events: write  # Job level - required for CodeQL analyze

No code changes were required as the repository already meets the security requirements.

Fixes #106.
