Workflow does not contain permissions Medium
Copilot Autofix
AI 9 months ago
In general, the fix is to explicitly set a restrictive
permissions:block either at the workflow root or within the job so thatGITHUB_TOKENhas only the minimal needed permissions. Since this workflow only reads pull request metadata (viagithub.event) and posts to Slack with a secret webhook, it does not need to useGITHUB_TOKENat all. The safest configuration is to setpermissions: {}at the workflow level (disabling all default permissions) or, if you prefer to keep minimal read access, usepermissions: contents: read. Because the workflow doesn’t call the GitHub API viaGITHUB_TOKEN, disabling all permissions is appropriate and does not change existing functionality.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/SlackNotification.yml, add apermissions:block near the top of the file, at the same indentation ason:andname:. This will apply to all jobs in the workflow, includingslackNotification. No imports or additional methods are needed; this is purely a YAML configuration change. The best single change is:This ensures that the
GITHUB_TOKENgranted to the workflow has no repository permissions.
