rules:

    message: Detected use of the 'none' algorithm in a JWT token. The 'none'
      algorithm assumes the integrity of the token has already been verified.
      This would allow a malicious actor to forge a JWT token that will
      automatically be verified. Do not explicitly use the 'none' algorithm.
      Instead, use an algorithm such as 'HS256'.
