Potential fix for https://github.com/react-native-community/directory/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the problem, explicitly restrict the
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for this workflow/job so it does not rely on potentially read‑write repository defaults. Because this workflow only needs to check out code and run an external deploy command authenticated byVERCEL_TOKEN, it should only requirecontents: read. This aligns with the CodeQL suggestion and the principle of least privilege.The best fix is to add a
permissionsblock settingcontents: read. We can add it at the workflow root so it applies to all jobs (onlybuildexists here), without altering existing functionality. Concretely, in.github/workflows/code-deploy-preview.yml, insert:between the
on:block and thejobs:block (i.e., after line 5 and before line 7). No new imports or other definitions are needed; we are only changing the workflow configuration.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
