To address the issue, add a
permissionsblock to the root of the workflow file. This block will apply to all jobs unless overridden individually. The permissions should only includecontents: read, as this workflow appears to focus on building and verifying a package and does not need write access. This change will ensure that theGITHUB_TOKENused by the workflow has limited access to the repository, reducing the risk of unintended privilege escalation.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
