Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 2: Workflow does not contain permissions

[tomersein]

Potential fix for https://github.com/MustacheCase/zanadir/security/code-scanning/2

To fix the issue, we need to add a permissions block to the workflow. This block should specify the least privileges required for the workflow to function correctly. Based on the provided code, the workflow primarily reads repository contents and interacts with pull requests. Therefore, the permissions can be set to contents: read and pull-requests: write.

The permissions block should be added at the root level of the workflow to apply to all jobs, as there is only one job (review) in the workflow. This ensures that the GITHUB_TOKEN has restricted access throughout the workflow.

Review Summary

The diff adds permissions to the GitHub Actions workflow for reading content and writing to pull requests. This seems reasonable for a code review bot, but should be justified with a concrete use case documented in the PR and workflow.

Critical issues

None.

Suggestions

1. Justify the permissions: Add a comment to the workflow file (or, preferably, the pull request description) explaining why contents: read and pull-requests: write are needed. What specific actions require these permissions? (e.g., "Reads code to perform static analysis" or "Writes comments on pull requests based on analysis"). Without justification, these permissions create a security risk if the action is compromised.
2. Least Privilege: If possible, scope down pull-requests: write. Is it possible to limit the permission to pull-requests: write comments (if that is all is needed)? Using the principle of least privilege is important in CI/CD pipelines.
3. Consider granular permissions: Depending on the robot's functionality, consider exploring more granular permissions if available to further restrict access.
4. Regularly review workflow permissions: Add a comment to the workflow to remind future developers to periodically review the permissions being used by the workflow to ensure they are still necessary and appropriate.
5. Test the workflow: Add a test case that validates the robot performs as expected with the added permissions. This could involve triggering the workflow with a specific issue comment and verifying the bot's response on a pull request.

Quick wins/Positive aspects

The addition of explicit permissions is good practice as it moves away from default permissive settings, improving overall security posture. The workflow configuration is relatively simple.
