License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Use when writing or reviewing code that parses user input, builds SQL/shell commands, handles secrets/credentials, hashes passwords, changes auth checks, deserializes untrusted data, or constructs paths/URLs from input.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Security and Trust Boundaries

## Overview

Common security mistakes grouped by trust boundary: input concatenated into a query, a token logged "for debugging", an unguarded endpoint, `pickle.loads` on untrusted bytes. **When code crosses a trust boundary, stop and run the matching checks before you commit.**

This is a **rigid** skill. Jump to the sub-section that matches what you're writing and run that sub-section's checks.

These checks matter most when untrusted input is crossing into a system with real users — production endpoint, shared service, anything that touches user data, secrets, or auth state. In MVPs, prototypes, internal dev tools, and one-off scripts, prefer the simplest thing that works and re-invoke this skill before the code reaches users. **Three rules apply at every stage, even prototypes: no committed credentials in source, no string-built SQL or shell commands, no `pickle.loads` (or equivalent) on untrusted input. Surface these in your summary to the user even in throwaway code.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oribarilan/97/security-and-trust-boundaries@sha256:482f023e1dcbcd2d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260510.17c5ab8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
