@apilift/cli@1.5.3
AI Security Review
scanned 18d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source supports a warning for conditional exposure of a saved installation token to an APILIFT_URL-configured recipient. The default destination is the package service, and the inspected telemetry is server-enabled and host-restricted.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Run a CLI command using a saved installation while APILIFT_URL points to another HTTP or HTTPS origin.
Impact
The configured recipient can receive the installation token.
Mechanism
The CLI accepts that origin and adds the saved installation token to API requests as a bearer credential without restricting the origin to Apilift.
AI rationale
The source supports a warning for conditional exposure of a saved installation token to an APILIFT_URL-configured recipient. The default destination is the package service, and the inspected telemetry is server-enabled and host-restricted.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The API defaults to the Apilift service, but accepts any HTTP or HTTPS origin from APILIFT_URL.
- The API transport adds a saved installation token as a bearer credential, and normal commands pass that token to the client.
- Analytics is sent only when the authenticated service response enables it and supplies the expected Apilift analytics host and key format.
- The telemetry queue is recorded during counted CLI invocations; the inspected collector target reads local agent session directories.
Evidence against
- The credential exposure requires APILIFT_URL to select an alternate origin; the package default is https://apilift.dev.
- Analytics destination and enablement are constrained by the authenticated service response, and telemetry is not an install-time beacon.

•Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration.
