From a194285a6a6377e976ff7953288557706559a581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Narayanaswamy Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 13:42:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] coderabbit: add supply chain and malware detection rules Add security-first review instructions and supply chain attack surface monitoring based on opendatahub-io/security-config patterns. Includes named security rules (hardcoded secrets, weak crypto, injection vectors, privileged containers, sensitive data in logs), path instructions for IDE/AI agent config injection (Miasma worm defense), diff hiding (Glassworm defense), dependency manifest tampering, CI/CD workflow security, and registry config monitoring. Enables settings-dangerous, hooks-dangerous, mcp-prohibited, and hooks-prohibited tools.
