Graduation rationale

Checks AI-native markdown for `git clone` examples that fetch repositories directly from an insecure `http://` source.

SEC464 / MD-GIT-HTTP-CLONE ​

SEC464 flags AI-native markdown when a git clone example fetches a repository directly from http://....

Why It Matters ​

An http:// clone source removes transport integrity from repository bootstrap. In shared AI-native instructions, that turns an insecure source fetch into copy-pastable setup guidance.

What Triggers It ​

  • AI-native markdown surface
  • the same parsed markdown region contains git clone
  • the same region also contains a direct http:// repository source

The finding points to the http:// token itself.

What Does Not Trigger It ​

  • git clone https://...
  • unrelated http:// prose outside a matching git clone form

Example ​

Bad:

bash
git clone http://git.example.test/demo.git

Better:

bash
git clone https://github.com/acme/demo.git

Remediation ​

Replace the insecure http:// clone source with a normal TLS-verified https:// repository URL.
