Potential fix for https://github.com/MustacheCase/zanadir/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the issue, we need to add a permissions block to the workflow. Since the workflow only checks out code and scans the project, it likely requires only read access to the repository contents. We will add the permissions key at the root level of the workflow to apply the least privilege permissions (contents: read) to all jobs in the workflow.

  1. Review Summary: This diff adds a workflow for EOL scanning. The addition of permissions: contents: read is a positive step for enabling the workflow to access the repository's contents but requires careful consideration for security implications.

  2. Critical issues: None identified.

  3. Suggestions:

    • Consider the scope and configuration of the EOL scan: What tool is being used to actually perform the EOL scan? The workflow itself does nothing. Add steps to install and execute the relevant tool (e.g., trivy, nancy). Also, clarify what dependencies will be checked and how the results will be handled (e.g., failing the build, reporting in a comment).
    • Document the purpose of the workflow: Add a brief description at the top of the YAML file explaining what this workflow is intended to accomplish. This is especially important since the current workflow does not contain any actual logic.
    • Evaluate the need for contents: read permission: Ensure this permission is absolutely necessary and that the EOL scanning tool doesn't require broader permissions. If less permissive scopes can achieve same result, prefer those.
    • Implement error handling: Within the steps executing the EOL scan tool, implement error handling. Fail the workflow if the tool fails and report an error message.
    • Consider scheduling: Evaluate whether a scheduled run (e.g., weekly) in addition to PR and push triggers is desirable to catch newly EOL dependencies.
  4. Quick wins: The explicit permissions: contents: read declaration is a good practice, ensuring the workflow has the minimal necessary permissions. The workflow skeleton is in place to be populated.
