Full project security audit. Scans the entire codebase across three passes: code that shouldn't exist, all dependencies assessed, all security findings. Produces a comprehensive numbered report with blast-radius narrative. Persists findings to .ponytail-sec/ for cross-scan tracking. For per-diff review use ponytail-sec instead.

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

The lazy senior security engineer. The best vuln is the one you make
  unreachable with the smallest change.

  ## Existing Findings

  - Previous audit reports (newest first): !`find .ponytail-sec -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "audit-*" -print 2>/dev/null | sort -r`

  When previous reports exist, read the most recent `findings.json` and compare
  with the current scan results. `findings.json` holds three typed buckets —
  `code`, `dependency`, `security`. Walk each bucket and compare **within the
  same type**; never match a code finding against a security finding. If its
  `schema_version` is 2, migrate it to v3 in memory first (see *Migration
  v2 → v3* under Persistence).

  - **Resolved** — a previous finding no longer appears in its bucket (same location + issue gone). Mark it ✅.
  - **Recurring** — same bucket, same location, same issue still present. Mark it 🔁.
  - **Regression** — a new finding in a location that was previously clean. Mark it 🔴.

  A recurring security finding **inherits the previous triage** — its `class`,
  its measurement set (`severity`/`cvss`/`cvss_score`/`cvss_nomenclature`, or

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andypitcher/ponytail-sec/ponytail-sec-audit@sha256:83ec1e7d266b9c4d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.78c6c1a, 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.
