AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The configurable endpoint can receive a shared authentication token when the decision feature is enabled, so conditional credential exposure warrants a warning. The default-off stage and sensitive-state gate limit activation but do not bind the token to a trusted destination.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

A caller enables the decision-plane stage and submits a request that passes its state checks.

Impact

If configured to an untrusted endpoint, an existing authentication token may be disclosed.

Mechanism

The client resolves a configurable base URL, obtains a decision API key or shared gateway token, and posts the request with authentication headers.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

When the decision plane is enabled, UKit can forward a shared Claude authentication token to its decision service.
The decision service base URL can be overridden through environment or user configuration, with no destination allowlist shown in the resolver.
The client posts decision requests using the resolved endpoint and authentication headers.
The hook and agent-configuration findings inspected describe bounded project tooling or protected configuration handling; they do not establish an attack.

Evidence against

package.json has no install lifecycle hook; its executable is the UKit CLI.
The task routing stage defaults off when absent or malformed, and the client blocks sensitive state packets before sending.
The watchdog stages bounded input and fails open; inspected configuration code preserves protected paths and existing user settings.
