Subject: [PATCH] chore: Set permissions for GitHub actions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

 Restrict the GitHub token permissions only to the required ones; this way, even if the attackers will succeed in compromising your workflow, they won’t be able to do much.

- Included permissions for the action. https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md#token-permissions
