Description
There should be an "approval" before files are dropped on your system. You couple keybase with the recently released git vulnerability and then Keybase could enable a worm to spread through people's systems using keybase.

This could be prevented by requiring "approvals" before files are placed on a system through KBFS. Hopefully I am missing something, but I think that this is a potential issue.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how KBFS exposes the /keybase mount point and the linked Git vulnerability discussion, then determine whether the requested control is a mount-disable option, file approval flow, or both. Done should be a documented, tested way to prevent unapproved files from being placed through KBFS.
