Potential fix for https://github.com/stripe/sync-engine/security/code-scanning/3
In general, the problem is fixed by adding an explicit
permissionsblock that scopes theGITHUB_TOKENto the least privileges required. For a typical CI workflow that only checks out source code and runs tests,contents: readat the workflow or job level is sufficient. This documents the intended permissions and prevents the workflow from inheriting broader defaults if repository or organization settings change.The best way to fix this specific workflow without changing existing behavior is to add a minimal
permissionsblock at the top (root) of the workflow, just undername: CI(or aboveon:). This will apply to all jobs (testande2e-test), and both appear to only need read access to repository contents. No step in the snippet pushes commits, creates releases, modifies issues, or otherwise requires write permissions. Thus, we can safely specify:Only
.github/workflows/ci.ymlneeds to be edited, and no additional methods, imports, or definitions are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
