AI Security Review

scanned 6h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected excerpts do not prove the scanner’s credential-redirection or remote-execution claims. The large CLI source leaves the reported credential-routing behavior unresolved, so the evidence is insufficient to classify the package as clean or malicious.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Unresolved; the inspected source does not show what action activates the reported redirection.

Impact

A credential exposure impact cannot be confirmed without resolving the CLI behavior.

Mechanism

The available excerpts show intended Todoist authentication and a check for non-default Claude endpoints, but do not show a credential transfer to an unrelated recipient.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/cli/index.mjsdist/routing-DmkheCRH.mjs

Network endpoints2

api.todoist.com/api/v1api.anthropic.com

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 62.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest has a prepublishOnly script, not an npm install lifecycle hook.
The inspected Todoist client sends its token to the Todoist API; setup explains the token’s access and prompts before using an environment token.
The router’s inspected default Anthropic endpoint is api.anthropic.com.
The CLI also contains code that checks live Claude processes for a non-default API base URL.

Evidence against

The inspected excerpts do not establish that a prompted Anthropic credential is sent to a publisher-selected gateway or that remote code is fetched and executed.
The large CLI source contains the reported credential-routing behavior, but the inspected excerpts do not resolve its trigger, destination, or persistence effects.
