Potential fix for https://github.com/SpongePowered/SystemOfADownload/security/code-scanning/4
In general, the fix is to explicitly configure
permissionsfor theGITHUB_TOKENeither at the workflow root (to apply to all jobs) or per job. Since all four jobs (test,lint,generate,build) only need to read the repository contents and do not perform any operations that modify GitHub resources, a single root-levelpermissionsblock settingcontents: readis the simplest and least invasive fix.The best change without altering existing functionality is to add a
permissions:section near the top of.github/workflows/ci.yml, alongsidenameandon. This block will apply to all jobs because none of them currently declare their ownpermissions. We should setcontents: readas a minimal, secure default, matching the suggestion from CodeQL. No other scopes (likepull-requests: write,issues: write, etc.) appear necessary based on the current steps, which only read code, run tests, generate code locally, and upload coverage to an external service.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/ci.yml, insert:between the
name: CIline (line 1) and theon:block (line 3), adjusting indentation to align with root keys. No imports, methods, or other definitions are needed, since this is purely a YAML configuration change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
