Potential fix for https://github.com/mod-posh/xml2doc/security/code-scanning/4
To fix the problem, explicitly declare a
permissions:block at the top level of the workflow (recommended) or for the affected job. This ensures that only the necessary permissions are granted to the workflow'sGITHUB_TOKEN, reducing security risks.Given that this workflow pushes to branches, creates releases, and interacts with repository content, at minimum it requires
contents: write, and possibly alsopull-requests: writeorissues: writeif those operations are performed. However, based on the workflow shown,contents: writeis required for pushing documentation and creating releases. To adhere to the principle of least privilege, set:Add this block immediately after the
name:field and beforeon:in.github/workflows/release.yml. No other changes or imports are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
