    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Set stricter access controls for GitHub workflows",
        "Description": "Sensitive information, such as secrets and tokens, should not be directly hardcoded in the workflow file for security reasons. It is recommended to use GitHub Secrets to store and access sensitive information.",
        "Remediation": "Store sensitive information, such as PYPI_TOKEN_COVEO_EXAMPLE_LIBRARY, as GitHub Secrets and use the ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }} syntax to access them in the workflow."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Ensure secure dependencies are used in workflow actions",
        "Description": "Dependencies pulled in from external sources, such as GitHub actions, should be verified for security vulnerabilities and maintained regularly.",
        "Remediation": "Regularly update and review external dependencies like 'coveo/stew' and make sure they come from reputable sources."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Low",
        "Recommendation": "Add appropriate error handling in workflow steps",
        "Description": "It is important to handle potential errors or failures that may occur during workflow execution to provide better visibility and resilience.",
        "Remediation": "Implement error handling mechanisms, such as try-catch blocks or fail-safe mechanisms, to manage and recover from errors in workflow steps."

        "Recommendation": "Use Github Actions supported versions for setup steps",
        "Description": "Using commit hashes for setup steps may lead to unexpected behavior or security vulnerabilities.",
        "Remediation": "Use a supported version tag provided by the actions/setup-python action for setup-python step and update the commit hash to use a release tag for the actions/checkout action."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Use specific versions for GitHub Actions to ensure stability",
        "Description": "Using unspecified or dynamically obtained versions of GitHub Actions may lead to unstable or insecure workflows.",

        "Severity": "Low",
        "Recommendation": "Add a new line at the end of the file",
        "Description": "It is a good practice to have a newline character at the end of a file to maintain conformity with common conventions.",
        "Remediation": "Add a newline character at the end of the file."

        "Recommendation": "Avoid hardcoding function parameters inside the function",
        "Description": "Hardcoding function parameters inside a function makes it less flexible and harder to maintain.",
        "Remediation": "Pass the 'jobName' parameter directly when calling the 'IterateNode' function instead of hardcoding it inside the 'addAction' function."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid reassignment of variables if not necessary",
        "Description": "Reassigning the 'jobNode' variable twice in close succession can lead to confusion and potential bugs.",
        "Remediation": "Combine the two 'IterateNode' function calls into a single assignment to 'jobNode', reusing the value from the first call for the second call."

        "Description": "Hardcoding sensitive information like API keys or passwords directly in the code poses a security risk as it can be accidentally exposed.",
        "Remediation": "Store sensitive information in environment variables or secure configuration files, and access them at runtime."

        "Severity": "Medium",
