This PR addresses the OSSF Scorecard requirement for minimum token permissions in GitHub workflows.

Analysis Results

After thorough analysis of all 18 GitHub workflow files in .github/workflows/, I found that all workflows already have the correct minimum token permissions configured. No changes were required.

Current State - All Requirements Met ✅

Top-level permissions correctly configured:

Files with permissions: contents: read (minimal default):

  • ci-collector.yml, ci-nodejs.yml, ci-python.yml, ci-shellcheck.yml, ci-terraform.yml, codeql.yml, fossa.yml, publish-layer-collector.yml

Files with specific permissions for their function:

  • ci-java.yml: permissions: pull-requests: write (for PR comments)
  • close-stale.yaml: permissions: issues: write, pull-requests: write (for stale issue management)
  • layer-publish.yml + all release-layer-*.yml: permissions: id-token: write, contents: read (for AWS OIDC authentication)

Files with permissions: read-all (preserved as instructed):

  • ossf-scorecard.yml, check-links.yaml (keeping existing read-all as per requirements)

Job-specific permissions correctly configured:

  • codeql.yml: analyze job has security-events: write for SARIF upload
  • ossf-scorecard.yml: analysis job has security-events: write, id-token: write
  • All release workflows: create-release and build-layer jobs have contents: write for GitHub releases

OSSF Scorecard Compliance ✅

All requirements from the OSSF Scorecard Token Permissions check are satisfied:

  • ✅ Every workflow has top-level permissions: block
  • ✅ Uses permissions: contents: read instead of permissions: read-all (except where already using read-all)
  • ✅ Job-specific permissions declared where elevated permissions needed
  • ✅ No contents: read in job-specific blocks (repos are public)
  • ✅ Follows principle of least privilege

Result: No code changes required - the repository already fully complies with minimum token permissions best practices.

Fixes #3.
