## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit tapi login and tapi studio dev commands collect and reuse Google and Firebase credentials through remote services. The login flow directs users to a GitLab-hosted page and passes its returned tokens into the CLI.

- **Trigger:** A user runs tapi login or tapi studio dev.

- **Impact:** An attacker-controlled authentication page or downstream service could obtain reusable user credentials and access authenticated project resources.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/studio-dev.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T02:58:17.878Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Remote authentication token capture, token persistence, and token forwarding to a Vite subprocess.

- **Attack narrative:** The package exposes a CLI that starts a localhost callback listener, opens a GitLab-hosted authentication page, and accepts Google tokens supplied to that listener. It exchanges and persists Firebase credentials. Its studio command later refreshes those credentials and supplies an ID token to a Vite process while using a Railway endpoint by default. This credential-bearing flow is not required for SDK imports and is activated only by explicit CLI commands, but the third-party authentication page and opaque default service make it a concrete credential-exfiltration risk.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes a credential collection and forwarding chain involving a GitLab-hosted login page and opaque default service endpoints. Lack of install hooks reduces automatic impact but does not remove the explicit-command credential theft risk.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/studio-dev.js, ~/.local/share/tapi/auth.json

- **Network endpoints:** rsarlong-1f92fd.gitlab.io, identitytoolkit.googleapis.com, securetoken.googleapis.com, determined-motivation-production.up.railway.app

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The executable CLI opens a GitLab-hosted authentication page and accepts Google ID and access tokens returned to a local callback., The CLI sends the captured Google ID token to Firebase and stores the resulting refresh and ID tokens locally., The studio development command reads the stored refresh token and sends it to Google, then exposes the refreshed ID token to a Vite child process., The default Studio service endpoint is an unrelated Railway host rather than a package-local service.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The network and subprocess behavior requires explicit CLI commands; importing the SDK does not trigger it.
