Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The collector uses the package’s service by default, but APILIFT\_URL accepts any HTTP or HTTPS origin and the collector reuses the stored installation token there. Because the CLI starts the collector after a user command and the API client sends the token as a bearer credential, a non-Apilift override can expose it; the source does not establish malicious intent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T22:58:46.790Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T23:06:32.898Z - **Download time:** 1291 ms - **Static scan time:** 18023 ms - **AI review time:** 446793 ms - **Total time:** 466108 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A conditional credential exposure surface exists when APILIFT\_URL points to a non-Apilift origin. The collector can send the stored installation token to that configured origin. - **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI command with an existing installation and APILIFT\_URL set to a different HTTP or HTTPS origin. - **Impact:** The configured recipient can receive the installation token. The source does not establish that the token is stolen or misused. - **Evidence paths:** dist/apilift.js, dist/apilift-collector.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T23:06:32.898Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command starts the collector, which loads the saved installation token and builds an API client for APILIFT\_URL; the client places the token in a bearer authorization header. - **Rationale:** The collector uses the package’s service by default, but APILIFT\_URL accepts any HTTP or HTTPS origin and the collector reuses the stored installation token there. Because the CLI starts the collector after a user command and the API client sends the token as a bearer credential, a non-Apilift override can expose it; the source does not establish malicious intent. - **Files touched:** dist/apilift.js, dist/apilift-collector.js - **Network endpoints:** https://apilift.dev, APILIFT\_URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** After a CLI command, the package starts a background collector that loads the stored installation and uses its token for API requests., The API client sends its supplied token as a bearer credential; APILIFT\_URL accepts any HTTP or HTTPS origin, with https://apilift.dev as the default., The collector builds pseudonymous usage measurements and submits them through the API client., The collector’s agent integration locates local session files and opens Codex state databases read-only., The required session-audit location contains vocabulary data, not an agent configuration write., The dynamic Function call compiles schema validation code; the capture server binds to loopback and parses JSON requests. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apilift/cli@1.4.37. - Review the evidence and your use of @apilift/cli@1.4.37 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
