SEC467 / MD-CHMOD-ALLOWED-TOOLS flags AI-native markdown frontmatter that grants blanket chmod authority through allowed-tools.

Why this matters:

Bash(chmod:*) gives broad permission-changing authority as a default shared capability
the grant is wider than a reviewed permission-update workflow
shared instructions should prefer a narrow scoped command instead of open-ended mode changes

Triggers:

yaml

allowed-tools: Bash(chmod:*)

Does not trigger:

yaml

allowed-tools: Bash(chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa)

Remediation:

replace Bash(chmod:*) with a narrower reviewed permission-change command or remove the grant entirely
