Potential fix for https://github.com/codeharborhub/blog/security/code-scanning/4
In general, the fix is to explicitly restrict the
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for this workflow/job to the minimum needed. Since the job only reads labels from the triggering event and posts a comment on an issue or pull request viagithub.issues.createComment, it needs write access to issues (and possibly pull requests) but does not need broader repository write permissions.The best minimal change is to add a
permissionsblock under theaddContentjob (so it only affects this job) in.github/workflows/auto-content-on-labels.yml. We should grantissues: writeso it can post comments on issues, andpull-requests: writeso it can also comment on pull requests. No other permissions appear necessary. This involves inserting:between the
addContent:job key andruns-on: ubuntu-latest. No new imports or dependencies are required; we are only changing workflow configuration.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
