Potential fix for https://github.com/Iandenh/overleash/security/code-scanning/1

The best way to fix the problem is to add a permissions block to the root-level of the workflow file. This will apply to all jobs within the workflow unless overridden by individual job-level permissions blocks. Based on the workflow's steps, the minimal permissions required are contents: read. This ensures that the workflow can access repository contents without granting unnecessary write permissions.

The permissions block should be added at the top of the YAML file, right after the name key. This change ensures the least privilege principle is followed without altering the functionality of the workflow.
