        "Description": "Granting sudo privileges within the code can lead to potential security risks.",

        "Recommendation": "Prevent potential conflicts and improve code readability by organizing interface properties in a consistent manner.",
        "Description": "The properties in the Configuration and PolicyResponse interfaces should be organized alphabetically or by logical grouping for better clarity and maintainability.",
        "Remediation": "Rearrange the properties in the Configuration and PolicyResponse interfaces either alphabetically or by grouping related properties together."
