    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid hardcoding sensitive information in code",
        "Description": "Sensitive information like the StepSecurity API URL should not be hard-coded directly in the source code as it could lead to security vulnerabilities.",
        "Remediation": "Move sensitive information like STEPSECURITY_API_URL to environment variables and reference them in the code."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid using hardcoded correlation_id for processing logic",
        "Description": "Hardcoding the correlation_id in the code may lead to maintenance issues or difficulties in scaling the application. It's better to handle such values dynamically.",
        "Remediation": "Retrieve the correlation_id dynamically based on the job context or configuration."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Check for undefined owner, repo, run_id, and correlation_id before using them",
        "Description": "Before using variables like owner, repo, run_id, and correlation_id, it is important to check if they are defined to prevent potential errors.",
        "Remediation": "Add null or undefined checks for owner, repo, run_id, and correlation_id variables before proceeding with further operations."
    },
    {
        "Severity": "Low",
        "Recommendation": "Proper error handling for API requests",
        "Description": "It is essential to handle potential errors that may occur during API requests to prevent unexpected behavior in the application.",
        "Remediation": "Implement try-catch blocks or use Promise rejections to properly handle errors returned from API requests."

    {
        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Do not hardcode secrets in code",
        "Description": "The code contains a hardcoded secret 'STEPSECURITY_WEB_URL' which can be a security risk if exposed.",
        "Remediation": "Store secrets in a secure location such as environment variables or secret management services."

        "Severity": "Medium",

        "Description": "The code logs sensitive data like a correlation ID, which can lead to a security breach if the logs are exposed.",
        "Remediation": "Avoid logging sensitive data, especially in plaintext. If logging is necessary, ensure it is properly encrypted."

    {
        "Severity": "Low",

        "Description": "The code constructs API URLs using user-controlled input like 'policyName' which can lead to injection attacks.",

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Ensure error handling for external API calls",
        "Description": "There is no error handling logic for the API call to fetch the job summary. This can lead to unhandled exceptions and undesired behavior.",
        "Remediation": "Add try-catch blocks around the API call to properly handle errors and log any exceptions that occur."

    {
        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Validate required environment variables before usage",
        "Description": "The code assumes that owner, repo, run_id, and correlation_id will always have values before proceeding with API call. It's important to validate these variables.",
        "Remediation": "Check if owner, repo, run_id, and correlation_id have valid values before making the API call. Handle the case where any of these variables are missing or invalid."

        "Recommendation": "Consolidate repetitive code for fetching GITHUB_REPOSITORY values",
        "Description": "The splitting of GITHUB_REPOSITORY into owner and repo is done multiple times. This can be consolidated to improve code maintainability.",
        "Remediation": "Move the splitting logic of GITHUB_REPOSITORY into a separate function and reuse it where needed."

        "Remediation": "Instead of using fs.appendFileSync, consider using a writable stream for appending the data asynchronously to improve performance and prevent blocking. Use fs.createWriteStream() to create a writable stream and then write data to it using the write() method."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Ensure proper error handling for fs.appendFileSync",

        "Remediation": "Wrap the fs.appendFileSync operation in a try-catch block to handle any potential errors that may occur. Log or handle the error appropriately within the catch block."
