Potential fix for https://github.com/scorpion7slayer/NxtGit/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the problem, explicitly set restricted
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions in the workflow. Because this workflow only checks out code, caches builds, and runs tests, it does not need write access to repository contents or other scopes. The minimal safe configuration is to addpermissions: contents: readat the workflow or job level.The best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a top-level
permissionsblock right under the workflowname:(or underon:) so it applies to all jobs. Concretely, in.github/workflows/test.yml, insert:between the existing
on: [pull_request]andjobs:lines. No imports or additional methods are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change within the workflow file.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
