Potential fix for https://github.com/codeharborhub/codeharborhub.github.io/security/code-scanning/1817
To fix the problem, add an explicit
permissions:block that grants only the minimal read permissions needed for this workflow. Since the workflow only reads pull request data and uses the REST API to read contributors and open issues, it does not require any write permission. The safest general fix is to specify read‑onlycontentsandpull-requests(and optionallyissues) permissions, either at the workflow root or for the specific job.The single best fix with minimal functional impact is to add a root‑level
permissions:block just below thename:line in.github/workflows/pr_creation_workflow.yml. This will apply to all jobs in the workflow (currently justcheck-pr). Based on the current steps, the token only needs to read repository data and PR metadata, so:is sufficient; if you want to be generous for future checks that might read issues directly, you can add
issues: readas well. No other code changes or imports are needed because we are only constraining the automatically providedGITHUB_TOKENpermissions, not changing how it is referenced.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
