    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Ensure sensitive data like container image information is handled securely.",
        "Description": "The code directly checks if the job is a container job by looking at the presence of the container image. This can expose sensitive information and potentially lead to security risks.",
        "Remediation": "Instead of directly checking if job.Container.Image is not empty to determine if it is a container job, introduce a more secure way to handle this sensitive information, such as using environment variables or configuration settings."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid hardcoding sensitive data or logic directly in the code.",
        "Description": "The code explicitly adds a permission for a container job along with a comment, potentially exposing the logic around handling container jobs.",
        "Remediation": "Move the logic related to handling a container job to a configuration file or environment variable to avoid hardcoding it in the codebase."

[
    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid hardcoding sensitive information in code",
        "Description": "The code contains a sensitive information 'addPermissions' hardcoded directly in the source code, which can be a security risk. It's always recommended to avoid hardcoding sensitive information in code.",
        "Remediation": "Store sensitive information such as 'addPermissions' in a secure configuration file or environment variables."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Implement input validation for query parameters",
        "Description": "The code uses 'queryParams["addPermissions"] = "true"' without any input validation. It's important to validate input values to prevent injection attacks or unexpected behavior.",
        "Remediation": "Implement input validation for 'addPermissions' query parameter to ensure it meets the expected format or values before usage."

        "Description": "Storing sensitive information in code, such as permissions, can lead to security vulnerabilities.",
        "Remediation": {
            "Change": "Store sensitive information securely outside of the codebase, such as in environment variables or a secure storage service.",
            "Example": "Instead of directly mentioning permissions in the code, use environment variables to fetch these permissions securely."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Specify Exact Permissions Needed",

        "Remediation": {
            "Change": "Specify the exact minimal permissions required for the job to function instead of broad permissions like 'read'.",
            "Example": "Define more specific permissions based on the actual requirements, such as read access only to specific directories or files."

    },
    {
        "Severity": "Low",
        "Recommendation": "Use Explicit Comments for Justification",
        "Description": "It's beneficial to include explicit comments explaining the reason behind permissions to enhance maintainability and understanding.",
        "Remediation": {
            "Change": "Add comments explaining the justification for each permission within the codebase.",
            "Example": "Include comments like '# Fetching code for actions/checkout' or '# Required for container job' to clarify the purpose of each permission."
