This PR addresses the requirement to ensure correct CodeQL workflow permissions by conducting a comprehensive audit of all GitHub workflows in the repository.

Analysis Results

After thoroughly examining all workflow files in .github/workflows/, I found:

  • No workflows currently use github/codeql-action/analyze - the specific action mentioned in the issue
  • One workflow (OSSF scorecard) uses github/codeql-action/upload-sarif and already follows best practices:
    • Root-level permissions: read-all
    • Job-level permissions: security-events: write (properly scoped to the job)

Workflows Examined

  • dependabot-auto-approve.yml
  • fossa.yml
  • ossf-scorecard.yml ✅ (uses upload-sarif with correct permissions)
  • php.yml
  • split_monorepo.yaml
  • update-dependabot-config.yml

Compliance Status

Requirements already met - No workflows use github/codeql-action/analyze that would need permission corrections.

The repository follows security best practices for the existing CodeQL-related workflow (OSSF scorecard), demonstrating awareness of proper permission scoping patterns.

Fixes #15.
