Description

When publishing a codeql pack using `codeql pack publish` and the GitHub token lacks the `write:packages` scope, the following error will be shown:

```

```

The error `An established connection was aborted by software in your host machine` makes it seem as though a firewall or antivirus tool blocked the publish. Instead, the shown error message should mention that access was denied.
