Potential fix for https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/ibm-sap-hana-backint-cos/security/code-scanning/35
In general, the fix is to explicitly declare minimal
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for this workflow, instead of relying on repository defaults. Since these jobs only need to read the repository content (for checkout and running tools),contents: readis sufficient. We can set this at the workflow root so it applies to both jobs; neither job appears to require any write permission or other scopes (issues, pull-requests, etc.), and we are not changing any steps or functionality.Concretely, in
.github/workflows/go.yml, add a top-levelpermissions:block between thename: Goline and theon:block. This will set default permissions for all jobs in this workflow, includingpre-commit(where CodeQL reported the issue) andbuild. The block should look like:No additional imports or methods are needed, since this is pure workflow configuration.
