🧹 What has been changed

Fixing the file permissions for new installations. Due to a packaging error when building the 5.2.0 release, new installations had default file permissions which were too permissive. All files and folders in a new installation had the permissions set to 777, where 755 for folders and 644 for files would have been correct. This might make the installation vulnerable on specific hosting setups. This issue does NOT affect updates to 5.2.0 of existing Joomla sites, as during the update process, Joomla already automatically sets the permissions correctly, overwriting permissions in the archive.

For sites created with the affected 5.2.0 packages, an automated solution updating the permissions of affected files and folders will be shipped with the next regular 5.2.x release. Site owners can either wait for that release or update the permissions manually.
