Potential fixes for 2 code scanning alerts

  To fix the problem, you should add a permissions block to the workflow or job definition. Since this workflow only checks out code, installs dependencies, and runs tests, you can safely set permissions to only allow read access to repository contents. The best way is to add a permissions: block at the root of the workflow (before jobs: on line 4) with contents: read. This will ensure that the GITHUB_TOKEN has minimally scoped permissions in all jobs unless overridden, adhering to the principle of least privilege. No additional imports, definitions, or code refactoring are required since it is a configuration change.

  To fix the issue, explicitly limit the permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN in the workflow. Add a root-level permissions block immediately after the name and before on:. For publishing to npm in this workflow, the GITHUB_TOKEN is not used to push back to the repository or create releases, so only read access to repository contents is required, unless an action specifically needs write permissions. In general, start with minimal permissions (contents: read) and escalate only if any job or step fails due to insufficient permissions. In this file, insert:

  permissions:
  contents: read

  right after the name: Publish line.

The 'publish' workflow likely needs write permissions to publish packages. Consider adding appropriate write permissions (e.g., contents: write or packages: write) or scoping permissions at the job level if only specific jobs require elevated access.
