Potential fix for https://github.com/yourtablecloth/TableCloth/security/code-scanning/7
In general, this issue is fixed by explicitly defining a
permissions:block that limits theGITHUB_TOKENto the minimum scopes required by the workflow. This can be set at the top level (applies to all jobs) or per job (overrides the top-level setting). For this workflow, the jobs only need to read the repository contents to perform checkout and build; they do not create releases, comment on issues/PRs, or push changes, socontents: readis sufficient.The single best fix without changing existing functionality is to add a top‑level
permissions:block right after thename:(or before/afteron:) that setscontents: read. This will apply to bothvalidate-versionandbuildjobs, and is compatible withactions/checkout,actions/setup-dotnet, andactions/upload-artifact, which do not require write permissions to repository contents. No other code changes, methods, or imports are needed: we only adjust the YAML configuration.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/build.yml, insert:near the top of the file (e.g., between line 1 and line 3 in the snippet provided). No additional permissions appear necessary given the current steps.
