Potential fix for https://github.com/HackingRepo/dssrf-js/security/code-scanning/32

In general, the fix is to explicitly define a permissions: block that restricts the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimal scopes required. This workflow only checks out code and runs Node.js build steps; it does not appear to need any write access, so contents: read is sufficient.

The best way to fix this without changing existing functionality is to add a workflow-level permissions: block (applies to all jobs) right after the on: trigger section and before jobs:. That will ensure all current and future jobs in this workflow run with contents: read and no broader permissions. No changes are needed to any steps or actions, and no additional imports or methods are required.

Concretely, in .github/workflows/node.js.yml, insert:

permissions:
  contents: read

between the on: block (lines 6–10) and the jobs: block (line 12). No other code changes are needed.

Advisory comments

1. Token perms now read-only 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
Setting workflow-level permissions to contents: read is a least-privilege improvement and should
not impact the current steps. If future steps need to comment on PRs, upload security events
(SARIF), publish packages, or push tags, they will start failing until additional permissions are
explicitly granted.
Code

.github/workflows/node.js.yml[R12-14]

+permissions:
+  contents: read
+
Evidence
The workflow now explicitly restricts the token to read-only repository contents. The workflow only
checks out code, sets up Node, installs deps, and builds—none of which require write-scoped GitHub
API permissions. This pattern is also used in other workflows in this repo (e.g., CodSpeed uses
contents: read).
