MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

  • Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The CI example runs "git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg" and then executes the bootstrapping scripts from that clone (./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh / .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat), which is a runtime fetch of remote code that is subsequently executed.
