In general, the problem is fixed by explicitly specifying a
permissions:block either at the workflow root (applies to all jobs) or per job (applies to that job only). For a simple Maven CI build that just checks out the repository and builds it, the GITHUB_TOKEN only needs read access to the repository contents.The best minimal fix here is to add a
permissions:block at the workflow root, just after theon:section and beforejobs:. This will apply to all jobs (currently onlybuild) and restrict the token to read-only repository contents. No change is needed to the existing steps becauseactions/checkoutworks withcontents: read. Concretely, in.github/workflows/maven.yml, between line 16 (branches: [ "master" ]underpull_request) and line 17 (jobs:), insert:No imports, methods, or other definitions are required; this is a pure YAML configuration change.
