Potential fix for https://github.com/wardviaene/golang-for-devops-course/security/code-scanning/4
To fix the problem, add a
permissionsblock that specifies the minimum required permission to the workflow file. Since the job only requires access to read repository contents (to fetch code withactions/checkout), settingpermissions: contents: readat the workflow root is sufficient. This ensures all jobs in the workflow use minimal token rights, adhering to the principle of least privilege and improving security posture. Place thepermissionsblock directly after thenamefield (before theonkey) in.github/workflows/verify-build.yml.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
