To fix this issue, add a
permissionsblock to the job or the root of the workflow YAML file. For this case, since the flagged error is within thepublish-wingetjob, the best fix is to set a minimal permissions block inside that job. This block should givecontents: read(required to read repo contents) and only grantpull-requests: writeif the workflow might submit PRs using wingetcreate. Place it as the first key under the job (beforeruns-onis standard). No functional changes elsewhere are needed; just add this YAML section. Specifically, add:as lines immediately below line 9 in
.github/workflows/winget.yml.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
