Potential fix for https://github.com/GalacticDynamics/is_annotated/security/code-scanning/6
To fix the problem, we should add a
permissionsblock to thedistjob in the workflow file.github/workflows/cd.yml. Since this job is for building distributions and does not require any special token privileges (it just checks out source code and runs build steps), we can safely set the permissions to the minimal possible, which iscontents: read. This restricts theGITHUB_TOKENto read-only access to repository contents, preventing accidental code or secret leaks and adhering to the principle of least privilege.Steps:
.github/workflows/cd.yml.distjob (underjobs: dist:), add apermissions:block withcontents: read, at the same indentation level as the other job properties (such asnameandruns-on).Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
