The read content permission is not necessary. Also you need to sign your commits before we can merge. |

The Lint PR workflow only reads the pull request to validate its title via amannn/action-semantic-pull-request, so scope GITHUB_TOKEN to pull-requests: read. Co-authored-by: Steven <steven@ceriously.com> Signed-off-by: Arpit Jain <arpitjain099@gmail.com>

permissions: contents: read, pull-requests: readat the workflow level. The job's single step runs a PR-title validator (amannn/action-semantic-pull-requestor equivalent) which reads the PR title via the pulls API and reports the result as the workflow's own check status. That needs read onpull-requestsand nothing else.The reason to be explicit even when the inherited default may already be reasonable is CVE-2025-30066, the March 2025
tj-actions/changed-filescompromise where a tampered third-party action exfiltratedGITHUB_TOKENfrom workflow logs. The leaked token carried whatever scope was issued at the workflow level, so per-workflow caps bound the runtime blast radius regardless of repo or org default. The block also gives drift protection if that default ever widens and is what OpenSSF Scorecard's Token-Permissions check looks for.YAML validated locally with
yaml.safe_load.
