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
# pci-dss-control-test-author This is a **build-an-X workflow** for verifying CDE scope is correctly bounded and prohibited-data assertions are captured in fixtures, targeting PCI DSS v4.0 (fully required March 2025). ## Helper stubs Key interfaces used across steps (provided by the test harness): ```python # network / infra def network_policy.get_allowed_connections(src: str, dst: str) -> list[str]: ... # data-access def export_database() -> DatabaseDump: ... def recent_logs() -> list[LogEntry]: ... def scan_repo_files() -> list[str]: ... def read_file(path: str) -> str: ... # TLS inspection - TLSInfo has: .protocol (str e.g. 'TLSv1.2'), .cipher_strength (int), .cipher (str) def inspect_tls(endpoint: str) -> TLSInfo: ... # crypto / format def is_encrypted_aes_256(value: str) -> bool: ... def is_truncated_last_4(value: str) -> bool: ... def is_hashed_with_salt(value: str) -> bool: ... def is_tokenized(value: str) -> bool: ... def redact(value: str) -> str: ... # constants CDE_API_ENDPOINTS: list[str] = [...] # All API endpoints inside the CDE DEPRECATED_CIPHERS: list[str] = [...] # e.g. ['RC4', 'DES', '3DES', 'NULL'] ``` --- ## Step 1 - Define + assert CDE boundary …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/pci-dss-control-test-author@sha256:20901f6564f4b012The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.a1bd3f7, 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.
