Potential fix for https://github.com/mod-posh/xml2doc/security/code-scanning/3
The best way to fix the issue is to explicitly add a
permissionsblock that restricts the workflow's access to the minimum required by its steps. Since the workflow just checks out code (actions/checkout), reads a project file, builds/packages the code, and pushes to NuGet using a secret API key (not needing GITHUB_TOKEN write access), it only needs read access to repository contents. Place a block at the workflow (top/root) level so it applies to all jobs. Concretely, add:after the
name:and before theon:block in.github/workflows/build.yml.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
