Potential fix for https://github.com/omeritzics/Updatium/security/code-scanning/2

To fix the problem, explicitly specify a permissions block at the top level of the workflow (root scope), applying least-privilege settings. The minimal starting point is contents: read, which allows read-only access to repository contents. However, this workflow needs to be reviewed for steps requiring higher privileges. In this file, the steps that will require extra permissions are:

  • mathieudutour/github-tag-action@v6.1 (creates tags): needs contents: write.
  • ncipollo/release-action@v1 (creates draft releases): also needs contents: write.

To avoid workflow failure, the correct least-privilege block at the workflow root is:

permissions:
  contents: write

Add this right after the workflow name, before the on: block.

Only edit .github/workflows/release.yml. No imports or other file changes are needed.
