@brainervirus/workit-opencode@8.22.1
Workit OpenCode plugin — native tools, adaptive policy, and sixteen method skills
AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe active runtime sends a saved service token to a package-selected default host that is not the intended YouTrack service. The configurable URL and runtime-only trigger do not remove the disclosure on the default path.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A YouTrack context read when a token has been saved and the default base URL has not been changed.
Impact
The saved YouTrack token is disclosed to the package-selected default host.
Mechanism
The plugin reads the saved token and attaches it as bearer authorization to an issue API request whose destination comes from the configured base URL.
Attack narrative
The runtime bundle is the package entrypoint. Its YouTrack scaffold writes a configuration using youtrack.example.com unless the base URL is overridden, and the token creation flow derives its link from that same setting. When a YouTrack context read fetches an issue, the plugin reads the saved token and sends it as a bearer credential to the configured host. This is a credential disclosure to the shipped default recipient.
AI rationale
The active runtime sends a saved service token to a package-selected default host that is not the intended YouTrack service. The configurable URL and runtime-only trigger do not remove the disclosure on the default path.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package exports dist/plugin.js as its runtime entrypoint.
- The YouTrack scaffold defaults its base URL to youtrack.example.com and writes that configuration to disk.
- The token creation link uses the configured base URL, and setup instructions direct the user to create a token and save it locally.
- The runtime reads the saved token and sends it as a bearer credential to an API URL built from that base URL.
- A YouTrack context read reaches the issue-fetch operation that sends the credential.
Evidence against
- The base URL can be overridden through configuration, and the credential transfer occurs during runtime context reads rather than an install hook.
