    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Use specific commit SHA for actions/checkout step",
        "Description": "Using a specific commit SHA ensures that the codebase is not affected by any unexpected changes or vulnerabilities introduced in future versions of the actions/checkout action.",
        "Remediation": "Update the uses field in the actions/checkout step to refer to a specific commit SHA instead of a tag or branch."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Use explicit version for actions/setup-python step",
        "Description": "Using an explicit version for actions/setup-python step ensures that the workflow uses a known and tested version of the setup-python action, reducing the risk of unexpected behavior or vulnerabilities.",
        "Remediation": "Update the uses field in the actions/setup-python step to refer to a specific version instead of a tag or branch."

        "Description": "Adding a newline at the end of the file is a common best practice to ensure consistency and avoid issues related to missing newline characters.",
