Potential fix for https://github.com/ModusCreate-Perdigao-GHAS-Playground/codeql-wrapper/security/code-scanning/16
To resolve this issue, add an explicit
permissionsblock to thevalidatejob in the workflow file. The block should grant only the permissions required for the job to function. Since thevalidatejob does not perform any write operations or interact with repository contents, the minimal permission ofcontents: readshould suffice. This change will limit the scope of theGITHUB_TOKENto only read repository contents, adhering to security best practices.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
