Potential fix for https://github.com/RedTurtle/iocomune-backend/security/code-scanning/27
General fix: separate untrusted PR processing from privileged write operations, or at minimum gate privileged steps so they never run for untrusted PRs (notably forks), and avoid checking out PR head refs when not required.
Best minimal fix in this file without changing core functionality:
github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository).permissionstocontents: read, then elevate only the commit job/step context with job-levelpermissions: contents: write.github.event.pull_request.head.sha) instead of branch ref to avoid ref ambiguity/races.Edits are all in
.github/workflows/dependabot.yml:permissionsblock.jobs.buildto add job-level permissions.ref.ifguard.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
