A file you never read is giving your AI orders. Your assistant obeys a rules file in your repo, and an attacker can hide a line in it that tells your AI to backdoor your code. You can't even see the line. 🧵

The MCP server you vetted is someone else's code now, still holding the keys you approved on day one. 🧵
