  name: Image Tag should be fixed - not latest or blank
  author: princechaddha
  severity: low
  description: Checks if Kubernetes Deployment container images are using tags other than 'latest' or blank, which can lead to unstable and unpredictable deployments.
  impact: |
    Using 'latest' or blank image tags can result in deploying non-reproducible container images, potentially leading to unexpected application behavior and difficulties in troubleshooting.
  remediation: |
    Use specific image tags for all containers in Kubernetes Deployments to ensure reproducibility and stability of application deployments.
