SEC501 / MD-GIT-LS-REMOTE-ALLOWED-TOOLS ​

SEC501 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools grants the exact token Bash(git ls-remote:*).

Why It Matters ​

git ls-remote reaches out to remote repositories and surfaces metadata from arbitrary remotes. Shared frontmatter should not quietly grant that remote-inspection authority by default.

Trigger Shape ​

The rule triggers only when all of these are true:

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

Clean Cases ​

These stay clean:

  • more specific project commands such as Bash(git ls-remote origin)
  • frontmatter without Bash(git ls-remote:*)
  • fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths

Example Trigger ​

yaml
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git ls-remote:*)
  - Read

Safer Example ​

yaml
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git ls-remote origin)
  - Read

How To Fix ​

Replace Bash(git ls-remote:*) with a narrower reviewed command, or remove shared remote-inspection authority from the frontmatter entirely.
