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 web search code permits API keys to be sent to unrestricted operator-configured public endpoints, creating a concrete conditional credential exposure risk. This warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish covert exfiltration or malicious intent.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user or agent invokes web search with a provider key configured and an alternate API base URL set.

Impact

A misconfigured or untrusted public endpoint could receive the provider API key.

Mechanism

The code builds an endpoint from the configured OpenAI or Kimi base URL, checks it for protocol and private-host restrictions, then sends the API key in a bearer authorization header. Public hosts are not restricted to the intended provider.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/tools/browser-tools.jsdist/security/ssrf-guard.js

Network endpoints2

api.openai.com/v1api.moonshot.ai/v1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The web search tool reads API keys from its context or environment and accepts a configurable OpenAI base URL.
OpenAI and Kimi search requests send those keys as bearer credentials to the validated endpoint; the guard blocks private hosts but does not restrict public hosts to the intended service.
Pi MCP setup writes session-scoped configuration and passes it to the Pi process; this is not evidence of credential theft.

Evidence against

The postinstall script provisions a pinned Graphify runtime in Jait’s state directory; it does not install another release of this package.
The credential-bearing requests are part of an invoked web search capability, and the inspected code does not establish that the configurable endpoint is silently set to a package-controlled recipient.
