Closes #328
As mentioned on the issue, this PR enhances project security by hash-pinning the dependencies that are called under dangerous permissions. Additionally, it enables dependabot to update them automatically.
I configured dependabot in a way that all of version updates will be collapsed in a single PR sent monthly -- this avoids noisy PRs, which is a common concern haha. Regardless of the frequency chosen, for the case of security updates a PR with the fixed version would be sent right away.
