Potential fix for https://github.com/projectcaluma/ember-emeis/security/code-scanning/3
In general, the fix is to explicitly set
permissionsfor the workflow or for each job to ensure theGITHUB_TOKENhas only the minimal required privileges. Since these jobs only need to read the repository contents (foractions/checkoutand to run code), we can setcontents: read. Doing this at the workflow root is simplest and applies to all jobs that lack their ownpermissionsblock, matching the CodeQL suggestion and preserving existing behavior.The best change here is to add a single
permissions:block at the top level of.github/workflows/test.yml, just below theon:section (or just after it) so it clearly applies to all jobs. We’ll set:No job-specific modifications or additional imports are needed. Functionality remains unchanged, but the
GITHUB_TOKENwill now be restricted to read-only repository contents for all jobs in this workflow.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
