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 source supports a configurable credential-forwarding risk: an OpenAI key can be sent to an unrestricted custom public endpoint. This is a warning-level dangerous capability, not evidence of a concrete malicious attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A caller invokes web search and the OpenAI provider is selected or used as a fallback.

Impact

A custom destination can receive the configured credential. The source shows a configurable capability, not covert theft or a default unrelated recipient.

Mechanism

The tool combines the OpenAI key with the configured base URL and sends the key in an authorization header; the default URL guard does not enforce an OpenAI host allowlist.

AI rationale

Evidence

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

Network endpoints1

api.openai.com/v1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

Web search obtains the OpenAI key from gateway context or the process environment and accepts a separately configured base URL.
The OpenAI search request sends that key as a bearer credential to the URL built from the configured base URL.
The default guard blocks private hosts but does not restrict public destinations to OpenAI.
Pi MCP provisioning is per-session and is passed to Pi-based providers during launch.

Evidence against

The package postinstall hook runs a local Graphify runtime provisioning step; this does not establish malicious install behavior.
