Potential fix for https://github.com/BanManagement/BanManager/security/code-scanning/2
In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a
permissions:block that restricts theGITHUB_TOKENto the minimal access needed. Since this workflow checks out code and runs Gradle builds but does not interact with pull requests, issues, or push changes,contents: readis sufficient for the job (or at the workflow root).The best, least-invasive fix in this snippet is to add a top-level
permissions:block after theon:section. This will apply to all jobs in the workflow (currently justbuild) and ensures that theGITHUB_TOKENonly has read access to repository contents. No functional behavior of the build or publishing steps should change, as they rely on external secrets rather than write access to the repository viaGITHUB_TOKEN.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/build.yml, insert:between the
on:block (line 3–9) and thejobs:block (line 11). No imports or additional methods are needed, since this is a YAML configuration change only.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
