SEC441 / MD-GIT-REBASE-ALLOWED-TOOLS

SEC441 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools grants the exact token Bash(git rebase:*).

Why It Matters

Blanket git rebase authority lets an agent rewrite repository history as part of a default shared policy. In AI-native instruction frontmatter, that is wider than most reviewed workflows need and harder to audit after the fact.

Trigger Shape

The rule triggers only when all of these are true:

  • the file is an AI-native markdown instruction surface with parsed frontmatter
  • the path is not fixture-like
  • allowed-tools or allowed_tools contains the exact token Bash(git rebase:*)

Clean Cases

These stay clean:

  • more specific reviewed commands such as Bash(git rebase main)
  • frontmatter that does not grant git rebase
  • fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths

Example Trigger

allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git rebase:*)
  - Read

Safer Example

md
---
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git rebase main)
  - Read

How To Fix

Replace Bash(git rebase:*) with a narrower reviewed command pattern, or remove broad rebase authority from shared frontmatter entirely.
