Potential fix for https://github.com/WCG847/PACTool/security/code-scanning/1
In general, to fix this class of problem, you explicitly define a
permissionsblock in the workflow or job so that theGITHUB_TOKENused by the workflow has only the scopes required. For a linting workflow that just checks out source and runs tools locally,contents: readis typically sufficient.For this specific workflow, the simplest and best fix without changing existing behavior is to add a
permissionsblock at the workflow root (top level, alongsidenameandon) that limits permissions tocontents: read. This covers all jobs in the workflow and satisfies the CodeQL recommendation. No steps in this workflow need write access, andactions/checkout@v4works withcontents: read, so this will not break functionality.Concretely:
.github/workflows/pylint.yml.permissions:section after thename: Pylintline (line 1) and before theon:block (line 3).contents: readunderpermissions.No imports or additional definitions are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change.
