GITHUB_TOKEN permissions used by this action

[step-security-bot]

At https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows we are building a knowledge-base (KB) of GITHUB_TOKEN permissions needed by different GitHub Actions. When developers try to set minimum token permissions for their workflows, they can use this knowledge-base instead of trying to research permissions needed by each GitHub Action they use.

Below you can see the KB of your GITHUB Action.

GitHub asks users to define workflow permissions, see https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-20-github-actions-control-permissions-for-github_token/ and https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#modifying-the-permissions-for-the-github_token for securing GitHub workflows against supply-chain attacks.

Setting minimum token permissions is also checked for by Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Scorecards. Scorecards recommend using https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows so developers can fix this issue in an easier manner.
