I received a reply back from my hosting provider that the 777 permissions are set in the Joomla 5.2 archive file (downloaded directly from the Joomla repository).
Their reply:
"I believe I have found the cause of the issue you are having. I am assuming you installed the Joomla files using the zip archive at /home/wwwckde/public_html/Joomla_5.2.0-Stable-Full_Package.zip. I used the zipinfo command to analyze the metadata of the files in the archive and it appears the 777 permissions are from the archive itself. For example this is the output when filtering for the README.txt file. The section "-rwxrwxrwx " is the equivalent of 777 permissions:
[wwwckde@migration public_html]$ zipinfo Joomla_5.2.0-Stable-Full_Package.zip | grep README.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 3.0 unx 5275 tx defN 24-Oct-11 07:24 README.txt
It appears that the file system is simply preserving the file permissions from the zip file. I would suggest using these commands to correct the permissions as soon as the files are extracted."
