Potential fix for https://github.com/isaratech/isoflam/security/code-scanning/1
In general, fix this by adding an explicit
permissions:block with the minimum required scopes, either at the top level of the workflow (applies to all jobs) or inside the specific job. For this workflow, the steps only read the repository contents and do not push changes, create releases, or modify issues/PRs, socontents: readis sufficient as a minimal secure default.The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a workflow-level
permissions:block directly under thename:(beforeon:). This will constrain theGITHUB_TOKENfor all jobs (currently justbuild-and-test) to read-only repository contents. No other changes are needed, becauseactions/checkout,actions/setup-node,npm ci,npm test, andnpm run buildall work withcontents: readand do not need write permissions.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml, insert:after line 1 (
name: Build and Test). No imports, methods, or other definitions are required since this is pure workflow configuration.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
