Graduation rationale

Checks AI-native markdown for `pip install` examples that fetch Python packages from an insecure `git+http://` source.

Deterministic signal basis

MarkdownSignals exact `pip install` token analysis with `git+http://` detection inside parsed markdown regions.

SEC455 / MD-PIP-HTTP-GIT-INSTALL ​

SEC455 flags AI-native markdown when a pip install example uses git+http://....

Why It Matters ​

git+http:// removes normal TLS protection from the package source itself. In shared AI-native instructions, that turns an insecure supply-chain fetch into copy-pastable setup guidance.

Trigger Shape ​

The rule triggers only when all of these are true:

  • the file is an AI-native markdown instruction surface
  • a parsed markdown region contains pip install, pip3 install, or python -m pip install
  • the same region also contains git+http://...

The finding points to http://.

Clean Cases ​

These stay clean:

  • pip install git+https://...
  • direct http://... pip source examples already covered by SEC453
  • unpinned git+https://... examples already covered by SEC417

Trigger Example ​

bash
pip install git+http://git.example.test/demo.git

Safer Example ​

bash
pip install git+https://git.example.test/demo.git

How To Fix ​

Replace the insecure git+http:// source with a normal TLS-verified git+https:// source.
