Potential fix for https://github.com/secwexen/aapp-mart/security/code-scanning/7
In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a
permissionsblock in the workflow (or at the job level) that grants only the minimal scopes needed. For a typical CI build that only checks out code and runsmake/tests without interacting with GitHub APIs in a write-capable way,contents: readis sufficient and matches the minimal recommendation from CodeQL.The best targeted fix here is to add a workflow-level
permissionsblock near the top of.github/workflows/makefile.yml, just after thenameline and before theon:trigger. This will apply to all jobs in the workflow (currently onlybuild) and avoids needing to repeat configuration. The block should setcontents: read, which is adequate foractions/checkout@v4and typical build steps. No other functionality in the provided snippet depends on broader or write permissions, so this change should not alter behavior while resolving the CodeQL finding.Concretely: in
.github/workflows/makefile.yml, insert:after line 1 (
name: Makefile CI). No additional imports, methods, or other definitions are required because this is purely a YAML configuration change within the GitHub Actions workflow file.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
