Potential fix for https://github.com/zunalita/posts/security/code-scanning/4

To fix the problem, explicitly set the permissions key in the workflow file to restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to the minimum required privileges. In this case, the workflow only needs to read repository contents (to check out code and read files), so contents: read is sufficient. This can be set at the workflow level (applies to all jobs) or at the job level (applies only to the specific job). The best practice is to set it at the workflow level unless a job needs different permissions. The change should be made at the top of .github/workflows/validate_post.yml, after the name: line and before the on: block.
