@jait/gateway@0.1.840
Jait AI gateway — local-first AI coding agent with terminal, filesystem, and browser control
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms an automatic install hook that downloads and executes an unverified external Python dependency. This is a concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not establish secret theft, destructive action, self-dependency chaining, or a foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm installation runs the package postinstall hook.
Impact
A registry-controlled Python package can execute during installation and add executables under the user home directory.
Mechanism
Postinstall pip installation of an externally supplied Python package.
AI rationale
The source confirms an automatic install hook that downloads and executes an unverified external Python dependency. This is a concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not establish secret theft, destructive action, self-dependency chaining, or a foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation.
Evidence
package.jsonbin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.js~/.jait/runtime/graphify/venv~/.jait/runtime/graphify/runtime.json
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The automatic postinstall hook runs a runtime provisioner.
- The provisioner creates a home-directory virtual environment and invokes pip to install graphifyy 0.9.30.
- The downloaded Python package is not hash-pinned or bundled, so installation executes externally supplied package code.
Evidence against
- The package does not depend on a different release of itself.
- The inspected install path pins a version and checks the resulting command version.
- No credential harvesting or exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle path.
