Detect GitHub Misconfigurations

Description

GitHub misconfigurations can pose significant risks to organizations and individuals who use the platform. A misconfiguration in GitHub can result in sensitive data exposure, intellectual property theft, and compromise of systems. It's crucial to regularly review and monitor GitHub configurations to prevent misconfigurations and ensure the security of sensitive information.

Jit will run the GitHub misconfiguration scanner on schedule and communicate the findings on the Backlog page.
