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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T09:33:53.024Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T09:36:28.871Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 20457 ms - **AI review time:** 134630 ms - **Total time:** 155847 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 saved Apilift installation token can be exposed to an alternate API recipient when APILIFT\_URL is set to that recipient. This is a conditional configuration risk; the source does not establish a fixed unrelated recipient. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/apilift.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T09:36:28.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/apilift.js - **Network endpoints:** https://apilift.dev, APILIFT\_URL-configured HTTP or HTTPS origin ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apilift/cli@1.5.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @apilift/cli@1.5.3 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.
