[High]Ensure pinned versions are used for dependencies in pre-commit hooks
The pre-commit hooks configuration includes several dependency repositories, but their versions are not pinned, allowing for non-reproducible builds and potential for unexpected behavior. Update each dependency to use a pinned version, or specify a version range to allow for patch updates.

[Medium]Ensure that the pre-commit hook dependencies are obtained only from reliable sources
The pre-commit hook configuration includes URLs for external dependencies. Fetching dependencies from untrusted sources could introduce malicious code into the repository. Use only vetted, secure sources for third-party dependencies.

[Medium]Specify Git commit SHAs for version control
Configuring pre-commit to use the latest version of a tool may lead to version inconsistency between users or results that can not be reproduced in the future. Specify Git commit SHAs and update only after thorough testing has been performed.

[Low]Pin hook versions to maintain consistency in the future
Pinning the hook versions ensures consistent behavior across all pre-commit hook runs, regardless of future changes to the hooks. Update each hook configuration to use the latest version at the time of editing or to use a common version among all hooks.

[Low]Order the hooks in pre-commit by the repository they belong to
Organizing the hooks by repository helps ensure the code being checked is isolated from each other and can avoid conflicts. In addition, it can help in case we need to update one repository's hooks, we can reference all hooks under that repository. Group hooks together in the order of their repository specifying the repository name. In this case, it can be sorted as: gitleaks, eslint, end-of-file-fixer and trailing-whitespace.

[Low]Remove unused hooks from pre-commit
Unused hooks consume resources during execution and can clutter your pre-commit configuration file. Remove any hooks that are not being used to reduce clutter and increase performance.

[High]Pin dependencies and update the pin regularly based on security bulletin updates
Dependence libraries should be pinned down to an exact version to ensure the integrity of the packages. This decreases the risk of package managers downloading malicious packages from a compromised mirror. Fix any vulnerabilities identified by the tool and specify dependencies using an exact version number rather than a version range.

[Low]Add a comment block explaining the functionality of the Dependancy review action
It is always good practice to include a brief comment describing the action and its role in the workflow. Add comment blocks to help maintain the clarity of the source code by describing the functionality and role this action performs in the pipeline configuration

Security Fixes
Harden Runner
Harden-Runner is an open-source security agent for the GitHub-hosted runner to prevent software supply chain attacks. It prevents exfiltration of credentials, detects tampering of source code during build, and enables running jobs without

Add Dependency Review Workflow
The Dependency Review Workflow enforces dependency reviews on your pull requests. The action scans for vulnerable versions of dependencies introduced by package version changes in pull requests, and warns you about the associated security vulnerabilities. This gives you better visibility of what's changing in a pull request, and helps prevent vulnerabilities being added to your repository.
Maintain Code Quality with Pre-Commit
Pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. Hooks can be any scripts, code, or binaries that run at any stage of the git workflow. Pre-commit hooks are useful for enforcing code quality, code formatting, and detecting security vulnerabilities.
