Potential fix for https://github.com/iamhyc/Overleaf-Workshop/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the issue, we need to add a
permissionsblock to the workflow. This block should specify the minimal permissions required for the workflow to function correctly. Since the workflow primarily involves reading repository contents and publishing an extension, thecontents: readpermission is sufficient. This block can be added at the root level of the workflow to apply to all jobs or within the specific job (publish) to limit permissions for that job only.The fix involves:
permissionsblock at the root level of the workflow or within thepublishjob.contents: readas the permission, which is the least privilege required for the workflow.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
