Potential fix for https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-java/security/code-scanning/3
To address the problem, add an explicit
permissions:block to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN permissions for the job or the workflow. Since all steps in thebuildjob only need to fetch source code and push artifacts (actions likeactions/upload-artifactandcodecov/codecov-actiondo not require repository write permissions), the minimum required is typicallycontents: read. This block can be added either at the top level (for all jobs) or under thebuildjob if you want job-specific granularity. Here, for clarity and minimal change, add it under thebuildjob, immediately after the job name.No new methods, imports, or definitions are needed; only a change to the YAML workflow file itself.
