Potential fix for https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/security/code-scanning/4
In general, the fix is to explicitly declare a
permissions:block that grants only the minimal required scopes. Since this workflow only needs to read repository contents (to check out code and inspect git status/diff) and does not perform any writes via the GitHub API,contents: readis sufficient.The best minimally invasive fix is to add a
permissions:block at the workflow root (top level, alongsideon:andjobs:) so that it applies to all jobs in this workflow. Concretely, in.github/workflows/generated_files.yml, insert:between the
on:block (lines 3–5) and thejobs:block (line 6). No changes to steps, images, or other configuration are required, and no additional imports or tools are needed. This documents the workflow’s needs and prevents it from gaining unintended write powers if repository defaults change.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
Note
Low Risk
Workflow-only change that restricts token permissions; no application logic or data paths are affected.
