Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 2: Workflow does not contain permissions

[GabrielBarberini]

Potential fix for https://github.com/RocketPy-Team/Infinity-API/security/code-scanning/2

In general, fix this by explicitly specifying a minimal permissions: block either at the top level of the workflow (applies to all jobs) or within the specific job. For this workflow, we only need read access to repository contents to run pylint on the checked-out code, so contents: read is sufficient.

The best minimal fix without changing existing functionality is to add a top-level permissions: block after the on: declaration, setting contents: read. This applies to the build job and any future jobs in this workflow, keeping the token as restricted as possible while allowing actions/checkout to function. No other steps require write permissions or additional scopes. No imports or external definitions are needed because this is a YAML configuration change only.

Concretely, in .github/workflows/pylint.yml, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the existing on: [push] line and the jobs: block.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Poem

A little rabbit hops with glee,
Adding permissions, one, two, three—
Read access granted, secure and tight,
The workflow now has just the right
Credentials bounded, safe and bright! 🐰✨

15-19: Consider updating to v4 of GitHub Actions.

The workflow uses actions/checkout@v3 and actions/setup-python@v3. While these versions work correctly, v4 is available for both actions and includes improvements and security updates.

♻️ Optional update to latest action versions

-    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
     - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
-      uses: actions/setup-python@v3
+      uses: actions/setup-python@v4
       with:
         python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}

5-7: LGTM! Security improvement follows best practices.

The explicit contents: read permission correctly implements the principle of least privilege for this workflow. This is sufficient for the workflow's operations (checking out code, installing dependencies, and running pylint) and appropriately addresses the code scanning alert.
