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

AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The active web search path forwards an existing API key to an unrestricted configured endpoint, which is a concrete credential exposure capability. This warrants a warning; the inspected source does not establish a hidden recipient or malicious exfiltration.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A caller invokes web search with an OpenAI API key configured and OPENAI_BASE_URL set to a public, non-OpenAI host.

Impact

The configured service receives the API key, creating conditional credential exposure to the configured endpoint.

Mechanism

The tool appends the responses path, validates the URL, and sends the configured key in a bearer authorization header. The guard can restrict hosts when given an allowlist, but this call uses its default guard.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The registered web search tool reads OPENAI_API_KEY from configured API keys or the environment and accepts OPENAI_BASE_URL from settings.
Web search sends the key as a bearer token to the selected base URL; validation permits any host unless an allowlist is configured.
The pi MCP provisioning target writes session-scoped configuration to a temporary directory and cleans it up; its caller provisions only pi-based sessions with MCP servers.

Evidence against

The credential-forwarding path runs only when the web search capability is invoked and has a default OpenAI destination.
URL validation restricts protocols and private hosts; source does not show an enforced host allowlist for this call.
The flagged pi provisioning writes a per-session file rather than modifying global or project agent configuration.
