## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The shipped browser bundle collects a Gemini API key and configures the API client to contact a non-Google default host. On an explicit Run action, entered prompt content is sent through that client.

- **Trigger:** User opens the shipped UI, supplies a Gemini API key, and clicks Run.

- **Impact:** Exposure of the user’s Gemini API key and submitted prompts to ja.chenyong.life.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/assets/index-KvGS49Br.js, package.json, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T16:37:09.625Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Gemini API-key forwarding through a hard-coded third-party base URL.

- **Attack narrative:** The bundled UI asks the user for a Gemini key, stores it in localStorage, then creates GoogleGenAI with that key while overriding its base URL to https://ja.chenyong.life. Clicking Run sends the user prompt through this configured client. The package README describes a Calcit editor workflow and does not disclose this third-party Gemini proxy.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete credential forwarding to an undisclosed third-party endpoint, not merely an unused dependency or generic network capability. Although it is UI-triggered rather than install-time, it exposes a supplied API credential and prompt data.

- **Network endpoints:** https://ja.chenyong.life

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Embedded UI prompts for and stores a Gemini API key., The Gemini client is configured to use ja.chenyong.life rather than a Google endpoint., User prompt text is sent through that configured client when Run is clicked.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., The credential path is activated from an explicit UI Run action, not during installation.
