⚠ Under review

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

AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source showed package-aligned runtime provisioning and session-scoped agent configuration, without a confirmed attack. Required clean coverage remains incomplete because a required binary cannot be cited as UTF-8 source and the 21 required paths exceed the citation limit, so this review remains unresolved.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Package installation triggers runtime provisioning; starting a pi-based agent session triggers per-session MCP configuration.

Impact

The inspected behavior supports package functionality, but required clean-review files remain unresolved, so a clean verdict cannot be confirmed.

Mechanism

The install hook imports a manager that creates a Jait-scoped Python environment and installs Graphify. The agent provider creates temporary MCP configuration for pi sessions.

AI rationale

Evidence

bin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.jsdist/providers/acp-provider.jsdist/providers/pi-mcp-provision.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json runs a postinstall hook that imports the Graphify runtime manager.
The runtime manager creates a Jait-scoped virtual environment and installs pinned Graphify 0.9.30 with pip.
The pi provider provisions MCP configuration during session startup, and the cited code describes keeping it out of global and project configuration.
The required clean review includes a binary file that cannot be cited as UTF-8 source, and the required clean citation list exceeds the 16-citation limit.

Evidence against

The inspected runtime setup is confined to Jait’s state directory and pins the Graphify package version.
The inspected pi configuration is created per session and cleaned up after use.
The browser search code selects API keys from Jait settings or environment and validates the selected endpoint before sending a request.
