Potential fix for https://github.com/SovereignCloudStack/docs/security/code-scanning/5
To fix the problem, add a
permissions:block to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN's privileges for this workflow. The block should be placed at either the workflow root (affecting all jobs) or inside specific jobs (here, we have only one:lint-docs). Based on the shown steps, the minimal required permission iscontents: read, as the workflow only needs to read Markdown files and fetch diffs via the GitHub API—no write actions are performed. Add the following block at the top, after the workflow name (line 1), or inside the job block (after line 13). Preferably, add at the top since only a single job exists.No imports or other code changes are required.
