Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.6.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 CLI permits an unrestricted API-origin override while attaching its saved installation token to requests, creating conditional credential exposure. This supports a warning, but the inspected source does not establish a hidden recipient or an attack when the default service is used. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T12:53:05.307Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T12:56:10.914Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 22374 ms - **AI review time:** 162478 ms - **Total time:** 185607 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 linked CLI can send its saved Apilift installation token to a custom HTTP or HTTPS origin when APILIFT\_URL is set to that origin. The source does not restrict that override to Apilift’s service. - **Trigger:** Run a linked CLI command with APILIFT\_URL pointing to an untrusted origin. - **Impact:** The configured recipient could receive a reusable Apilift installation token. This exposure is conditional on the operator’s endpoint setting. - **Evidence paths:** dist/apilift.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T12:56:10.914Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI uses APILIFT\_URL as its API base and adds the saved installation token as a Bearer credential to requests. - **Rationale:** The CLI permits an unrestricted API-origin override while attaching its saved installation token to requests, creating conditional credential exposure. This supports a warning, but the inspected source does not establish a hidden recipient or an attack when the default service is used. - **Files touched:** dist/apilift.js - **Network endpoints:** https://apilift.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its listed scripts are build, typecheck, and tests., APILIFT\_URL can select any HTTP or HTTPS origin; the default is https://apilift.dev., The setup flow stores the installation token returned when linking the CLI., Later CLI requests use the saved token as a Bearer credential with the selected site as their base URL., The separate analytics path accepts only the configured EU PostHog host and a project key with the expected format. - **Evidence against:** The source does not establish a fixed unofficial credential recipient or credential theft; exposure depends on an operator setting APILIFT\_URL to an untrusted origin., The capture server requires a Bearer token and binds to 127.0.0.1; its remote-code-execution hint was not confirmed., The package includes ordinary CLI, native-host, session-audit, and pricing-library functionality. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apilift/cli@1.6.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @apilift/cli@1.6.1 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.
