Git checkout ambiguous-refname warning from AI coding agent plugin install
This rule detects potentially suspicious Git checkout operations initiated by AI coding assistant processes (such as Copilot, Claude, or Gemini). It looks for cases where these assistants execute a 'git checkout' command containing a specific commit hash (40 characters), followed by a secondary event where the git output indicates an 'ambiguous refname' error. This pattern may suggest an attempt by an AI tool to manipulate repository state or checkout arbitrary objects, potentially related to unauthorized code injection or malicious repository interaction.
