Jait AI gateway — local-first AI coding agent with terminal, filesystem, and browser control

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No direct credential theft, self-dependency chain, or broad AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. However, install-time retrieval and installation of an uninspected Python package is a concrete unresolved execution risk.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing @jait/gateway with npm lifecycle scripts enabled.

Impact

A compromised or substituted Python distribution could execute code during installation under the installing user's account.

Mechanism

Postinstall creates a virtual environment and runs pip install for graphifyy.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonbin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.js~/.jait/runtime/graphify/venv

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Installation automatically runs a runtime provisioner.
The provisioner creates a Python virtual environment and installs a separately hosted Python package.
The installed runtime is written under the gateway state directory.

Evidence against

The package does not depend on another release of itself.
The postinstall code pins the external runtime version and contains no credential harvesting or foreign agent-config mutation.
