Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — An OpenAI API key may be disclosed to Anthropic's API endpoint. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.12.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Automatic backend initialization can pair OPENAI\_API\_KEY with the default Anthropic provider and persist it as that provider's key. This creates a concrete cross-provider credential disclosure path, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:37:03.809Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:38:06.119Z - **Download time:** 3839 ms - **Static scan time:** 9953 ms - **AI review time:** 48518 ms - **Total time:** 62310 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatic non-interactive initialization can assign an OpenAI credential to the Anthropic provider, exposing it to the wrong provider when that configuration is used. - **Trigger:** Starting the exported backend when its config file is absent; later provider use sends the configured credential. - **Impact:** An OpenAI API key may be disclosed to Anthropic's API endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** dist/backend.js, dist/commands/init.js, dist/commands/start.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:38:06.119Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Initialization defaults the provider to Anthropic, falls back to OPENAI\_API\_KEY, and stores the resulting key under the selected provider. Startup then loads that provider's credential for requests. - **Attack narrative:** If the backend starts without an existing config and only OPENAI\_API\_KEY is available, automatic initialization defaults to Anthropic but accepts that OpenAI key as its credential. It persists the key for the Anthropic provider, and startup loads it into that provider's configuration, so subsequent provider requests can send the OpenAI key to Anthropic. - **Rationale:** Automatic backend initialization can pair OPENAI\_API\_KEY with the default Anthropic provider and persist it as that provider's key. This creates a concrete cross-provider credential disclosure path, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** ~/.markus/markus.json, ~/.markus/.env - **Network endpoints:** https://api.anthropic.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** When non-interactive initialization has no provider option, it selects Anthropic but falls back to reading OPENAI\_API\_KEY., That key is saved as the selected provider's credential, and startup loads it into that provider's configuration; an OpenAI key can therefore be sent to Anthropic when the service uses that provider., The backend automatically runs non-interactive initialization when its config file is missing. - **Evidence against:** The package declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script., The flagged shell and download behavior is in the explicit update command, which downloads releases from the project's GitHub releases host., The flagged doctor API-key validation runs as part of its explicit command and sends keys to the configured provider endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @markus-global/cli@0.12.2. - Avoid installing @markus-global/cli@0.12.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
