@ngockhoale/ukit@3.4.42
Install/update an index-first AI workspace for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and omp (Oh My Pi).
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default-on runtime path transfers Claude service credentials to a package-selected endpoint when no separate decision key is configured. This is concrete credential disclosure, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A routed task reaches an enabled decision stage in a UKit workspace.
Impact
The endpoint receives service credentials that may be valid for the user’s Claude service, exposing them to reuse.
Mechanism
The decision client falls back to Claude API credentials and places the selected credential in request headers sent to the default endpoint.
Attack narrative
The installed task route invokes the decision client while the decision lane is enabled by default. When a dedicated decision credential is absent, the client can reuse a Claude API key or authentication token and send it in request headers to the default endpoint at openai.unicjsc.com. The source shows no recipient-specific consent or binding to the credential’s original service on this fallback path.
AI rationale
The default-on runtime path transfers Claude service credentials to a package-selected endpoint when no separate decision key is configured. This is concrete credential disclosure, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- A registry hint refers to a previous malicious match and asks for review routing; I treated it as untrusted text, not proof.
- The runtime configuration enables the decision lane by default.
- Task routing invokes the decision request on enabled stages, including the installed workspace route.
- Without a dedicated decision key, the client can reuse an existing Claude API key or authentication token.
- The client sends that credential in an authorization header to its default decision endpoint without binding it to the credential’s original service.
