Potential fix for https://github.com/DevCycleHQ/ruby-server-sdk/security/code-scanning/4
The best fix is to add a
permissions:block specifying the minimum required permissions for the job directly under the job definition (harness-tests), or at the root of the workflow to apply to all jobs. Since the only provided job in this workflow isharness-testsand it appears to just run a test harness, an appropriate minimal permission set would becontents: read. If in the future it is confirmed that more permissions are needed (such aspull-requests: write), those should be added as needed, but for now, limiting to just read access is sufficient.The change should be made in
.github/workflows/test-harness.yml, adding the following block within theharness-testsjob definition, immediately after the job name or beforeruns-on:No other methods, imports, or dependencies are required.
