Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 5: Workflow does not contain permissions

[tomersein]

Potential fix for https://github.com/MustacheCase/zanadir/security/code-scanning/5

To fix the issue, add a permissions block at the root level of the workflow file. This block will explicitly define the permissions required for the workflow, ensuring that the GITHUB_TOKEN operates with the least privilege necessary. Based on the workflow's functionality, the contents: read permission is sufficient for checking out code and performing the license compliance scan. No write permissions are required.

The permissions block should be added immediately after the name field at the top of the file. This will apply the permissions to all jobs in the workflow.

Review Summary

This diff adds a license compliance scan workflow using a GitHub Action. The addition of permissions: contents: read is a good security practice for workflows accessing repository content.

Critical issues

None.

Suggestions

1. Consider adding a pull request trigger: The workflow currently only runs on push events. Adding a pull_request trigger will catch license issues before code is merged.
2. Add comments explaining the workflow's purpose: While the name is descriptive, adding a brief comment at the beginning explaining what this workflow does, and why it's important, improves readability.
3. Add a step to install dependencies: If the license compliance tool requires dependencies, ensure they are installed before running the scan. Use a uses or run step to handle this.
4. Review the action's configuration: Ensure the action used is correctly configured with necessary parameters (e.g., path to source code, license whitelist/blacklist).
5. Consider failure handling: Implement error handling to address scan failures. For instance, if the scan fails, it may be helpful to have the workflow create an issue so that the failing license can be addressed.

Quick wins

The addition of permissions: contents: read is a positive step to grant the workflow necessary permissions with minimal scope. Adding license compliance checks to CI/CD contributes positively to software supply chain security.
