The best fix is to add a
permissionsblock at the top level of the workflow (after thename:and before or after theon:block) or specifically within thetestjob. In the absence of any need for write permissions, the recommended minimal starting point is to setpermissions: contents: read. This provides the minimum repository access, and aligns with the principle of least privilege. The file to edit is.github/workflows/ngwaf-k8s-module-agent.yaml, and the change should add the block:immediately after the
name:key (recommended), or within the job if you prefer. In this case, as the workflow has a single job, root-level permissions will apply succinctly and are preferred.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
