⚠ Under review

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

AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source shows automatic postinstall provisioning of an external Python package, but does not include that package's source for review. No concrete attack behavior was established, so the unresolved install behavior warrants manual review rather than a block.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

The installed package's behavior could not be verified from the inspected files.

Mechanism

The hook invokes Graphify provisioning, which creates a Python virtual environment and uses pip to install a pinned Graphify package.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonbin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 76.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The postinstall hook invokes runtime provisioning, which uses pip to install the separately published Graphify package; its source is outside this package snapshot.
The Graphify package name and version are pinned in the provisioning code, but its installed behavior could not be assessed from this snapshot.
Pi MCP setup is conditional on a Pi provider and configured MCP servers, and writes a temporary per-session configuration.
The unreadable audio file is identified as the noVNC bell asset and is played by the noVNC interface.

Evidence against

Inspected browser search code obtains API keys for the selected provider and sends them in provider API requests; no unrelated credential recipient was established.
The inspected Pi setup does not write global or project Pi configuration files.
