To fix the problem, add a
permissionsblock at the workflow or job level to explicitly restrict the permissions granted to the workflow. Since the job simply makes a web request and does not interact with the repository, the minimal permissions setting ispermissions: {}, which sets all permissions tonone. This can be set at the workflow root (top-level) or job level. The best practice is to add thepermissionsblock at the top just belowname:and beforeon:, ensuring that no jobs can escalate permissions unless explicitly overridden.File/region to change: At the top of
.github/workflows/go-report-card-refresh.yml, add thepermissions: {}block under the workflow name.What is needed: No imports or new methods are needed, just the addition of a
permissions: {}YAML block at the correct location.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
