Potential fix for https://github.com/nicolasbock/ebuildtester/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the issue, we need to add a
permissionsblock to the root of the workflow to restrict the permissions of theGITHUB_TOKENto the minimum required for the workflow's operations. Based on the workflow steps, thecontents: readpermission is sufficient, as it allows the workflow to read repository contents without enabling write access. Additional permissions should only be added if explicitly required by the workflow.The
permissionsblock should be added after thenamefield at the top of the workflow file to apply the permissions globally to all jobs.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
