Potential fix for https://github.com/loilo-inc/exql/security/code-scanning/1
In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a
permissions:block for the workflow or specific jobs so that theGITHUB_TOKENhas only the minimal rights required. For this workflow, all steps only need to read repository contents and use external services via their own tokens, so we can safely restrictGITHUB_TOKENtocontents: read.The best low‑impact fix is to add a top‑level
permissions:block (applies to all jobs) right aftername: CIand beforeon:. This avoids changing any job behavior and doesn’t require editing individual steps. We don’t need any additional imports or changes to steps, and we do not need to alter howGITHUB_TOKENis referenced inenv. The exact change is in.github/workflows/push.yml, lines 1–3: keep the existing keys and insert apermissions:section withcontents: readbetweenname:andon:.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
