 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

I don't think this is needed. We are not using pull_request_target. We are using the standard pull_request trigger and by default it prevents write permissions and secrets access to the target repository.

jobs:
test:
permissions:
checks: write # for coverallsapp/github-action to create new checks
contents: read # for actions/checkout to fetch code

Isn't this inherited from the same permission defined at the root level? If so, can you please remove it?
