Subject: [PATCH] chore: Set permissions for GitHub actions (#6077)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

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

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#permissions

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/assigning-permissions-to-jobs

[Keeping your GitHub Actions and workflows secure Part 1: Preventing pwn requests](https://securitylab.github.com/research/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/)

 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.
