Contributions summary:Dimitar primarily contributed to enhancing the security checks provided by the `gosec` tool. Their work involved modifying and splitting existing rules, particularly related to cryptographic algorithm usage (G401, G405, G406, G407). They updated CWE mappings, added new rules, and implemented tests to validate the functionality of the new rules. Additionally, they addressed CI/CD workflow issues and refactored existing code to improve the tool's overall quality.
