7.07 would seem to be valid as it's covered in the MLBUM
From MLBUM 6.12 (Last two paragraphs):
If a runner is attempting to steal a base when the catcher interferes with the batter, the runner is awarded the base on the interference. Runners not attempting to steal or not forced to advance remain on the base they occupied at the time of the interference unless Official Baseball Rule 7.07 applies. Under Official Baseball Rule 7.07, if a runner is stealing home when the catcher interferes with the batter, the additional penalty of a balk is invoked, which enables all runners on base to advance (whether or not they were stealing). See item (p) in Section 7.5.
See also Official Baseball Rules 6.08(c), 7.04(d), and 7.07.
The referenced 7.5 item:
(p) Under Official Baseball Rule 7.07, if a runner is stealing home when the catcher interferes with the batter, an additional penalty of a balk is invoked which enables all runners on base to advance (whether or not they were stealing). See Section 6.12.
