SEC532 / MD-GH-API-PATCH-ALLOWED-TOOLS ​

SEC532 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools or allowed_tools grants the exact token Bash(gh api --method PATCH:*).

Why It Matters ​

gh api --method PATCH is a broad GitHub mutation path. Shared frontmatter should not quietly make remote PATCH mutations a default capability for every agent that loads the file.

Trigger Shape ​

  • AI-native markdown surface with parsed frontmatter
  • path is not fixture-like
  • allowed-tools or allowed_tools contains the exact token Bash(gh api --method PATCH:*)

Safer Example ​

md
---
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(gh api --method GET:*)
