Add comprehensive security tests for OWASP A02, A05, A07, and A08 categories

- Implemented tests for Cryptographic Failures (A02) to ensure proper handling of sensitive data, secure algorithms, and key management.
- Added tests for Security Misconfiguration (A05) to validate production configurations, security headers, CORS settings, and feature management.
- Developed tests for Authentication Failures (A07) to enforce strong password policies, rate limiting, session management, and MFA support.
- Created tests for Software and Data Integrity Failures (A08) to verify artifact signatures, SBOM integrity, attestation chains, and feed updates.

Accepts newline/whitespace-delimited stdin when piped; `--json` emits the raw response without additional logging. |
