Security Fixes

Least Privileged GitHub Actions Token Permissions

The GITHUB_TOKEN is an automatically generated secret to make authenticated calls to the GitHub API. GitHub recommends setting minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN.

Pinned Dependencies

GitHub Action tags and Docker tags are mutatble. This poses a security risk. GitHub's Security Hardening guide recommends pinning actions to full length commit.

Add OpenSSF Scorecard Workflow

OpenSSF Scorecard is an automated tool that assesses a number of important heuristics ("checks") associated with software security and assigns each check a score of 0-10. You can use these scores to understand specific areas to improve in order to strengthen the security posture of your project.

Scorecard workflow also allows maintainers to display a Scorecard badge on their repository to show off their hard work.
