AI Security Review

scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The CLI can transmit environment-derived runtime secrets to a package-controlled default dashboard. This occurs during GitHub Actions execution after a declared runtime secret is unavailable from its vault.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Run kody-engine in GitHub Actions with a capability declaring a secret that is present in the job environment.

Impact

Exposure of CI secrets to the package operator's dashboard endpoint.

Mechanism

Automatic fallback-secret migration over authenticated HTTPS.

Attack narrative

The executable resolves declared runtime secrets from the environment when its vault lacks them, then automatically PUTs those values to the hardcoded Kody dashboard when running under GitHub Actions. Remote definition hydration can supply runtime capability definitions, making this reachable during the package's intended CI operation. The package's generated workflow grants an OIDC token and runs the CLI, enabling this transfer without an install hook.

Rationale

Source inspection confirms an automatic environment-secret upload to a hardcoded third-party endpoint, not merely network or shell primitives. No install hook exists, but the concrete CI credential-exfiltration path warrants blocking.
