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

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found conditional credential exposure: web search forwards an existing OpenAI key to the configurable base URL, whose public destination is not allowlisted by default. This supports a warning, not a claim of covert theft or malicious intent.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A caller invokes OpenAI web search while OPENAI_BASE_URL is configured to a public host outside the intended OpenAI service.

Impact

The configured endpoint can receive the API key, creating conditional credential exposure.

Mechanism

The tool builds its request from the configurable base URL and attaches the existing API key as a bearer token. The guard blocks private hosts but does not require an allowlist for public hosts.

AI rationale

Evidence

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

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The web search tool takes API keys from its context or environment and accepts an OpenAI base URL from the same sources.
It sends the API key as a bearer token to that URL; the URL guard blocks private hosts but permits public hosts unless an allowlist is configured.
The pi MCP provisioning target creates a temporary per-session configuration, and its caller provisions it only for pi-based sessions.

Evidence against

The postinstall hook installs a pinned Graphify runtime in Jait's state directory after checking for an existing usable runtime.
The inspected install path does not show mutation of consumer project files or a runtime dependency on this package.
