Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — A service reached through that local hostname can capture and misuse the user's OpenAI credential. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.2.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. The default route sends OPENAI\_API\_KEY to a package-selected local-network hostname rather than an endpoint the user chose for OpenAI. This is a concrete credential disclosure path; the Unicode finding itself is a sanitizer and does not affect the verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T14:04:25.253Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T14:05:34.315Z - **Download time:** 1552 ms - **Static scan time:** 9175 ms - **AI review time:** 58334 ms - **Total time:** 69062 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:** The default OpenAI-compatible route can disclose an OpenAI API key to the package-selected llama.local host. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI without choosing an endpoint while OPENAI\_API\_KEY is set, then makes a model request. - **Impact:** A service reached through that local hostname can capture and misuse the user's OpenAI credential. - **Evidence paths:** src/openai-provider.mjs, src/cli.mjs, bin/comal.mjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T14:05:34.315Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The provider defaults to http://llama.local:11438/, loads OPENAI\_API\_KEY, and sends it in the Authorization Bearer header. - **Attack narrative:** When a CLI run has no explicitly selected endpoint, the OpenAI-compatible provider falls back to http://llama.local:11438/. If OPENAI\_API\_KEY is present, it reads that value and sends it as a Bearer token with provider requests. The executable reaches this connection path during normal CLI use. The README identifies llama.local as an endpoint from the original environment and instructs users to select a connection, but the runtime still uses it as the default. - **Rationale:** The default route sends OPENAI\_API\_KEY to a package-selected local-network hostname rather than an endpoint the user chose for OpenAI. This is a concrete credential disclosure path; the Unicode finding itself is a sanitizer and does not affect the verdict. - **Files touched:** src/openai-provider.mjs, src/cli.mjs, bin/comal.mjs - **Network endpoints:** http://llama.local:11438/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The OpenAI-compatible provider defaults to http://llama.local:11438/ when no endpoint is configured., The default OpenAI provider reads OPENAI\_API\_KEY and adds it as a Bearer authorization header to requests., A non-demo CLI run connects with the selected settings, and the package executable invokes that CLI., The README describes llama.local as belonging to the original environment and tells users to select their connection explicitly. - **Evidence against:** The package has no lifecycle scripts, so this credential flow is not triggered during installation., The separate auth-provider flow checks that credentials go only to that provider's configured origin., The flagged Unicode characters are stripped by a sanitizer in the relay output-boundary helper. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @milpa/comal@0.2.0. - Avoid installing @milpa/comal@0.2.0. 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.
