AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default registry client automatically attaches a locally available GitHub token to requests sent to the vendor's fixed registry host. Sending a user's credential to the package vendor without consent is credential exfiltration under the review rules.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A CLI operation that requests the default registry, such as fetching its manifest.
Impact
The vendor-controlled registry receives the user's GitHub credential without an explicit request to share it with that service.
Mechanism
The registry client resolves a GitHub token from environment variables or saved auth, then attaches it as a Bearer token to requests at the fixed registry host.
Attack narrative
When a CLI operation fetches data from the default registry, the package resolves a GitHub token from GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, or its saved auth store and sends it as a Bearer token to tonik-quickshot-registry.vercel.app. This exposes the user's GitHub credential to the package vendor without explicit consent.
AI rationale
The default registry client automatically attaches a locally available GitHub token to requests sent to the vendor's fixed registry host. Sending a user's credential to the package vendor without consent is credential exfiltration under the review rules.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 96.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The manifest describes a CLI for managing Tonik Quickshot features.
- The token resolver reads GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN and can fall back to a stored GitHub token.
- The default registry client targets tonik-quickshot-registry.vercel.app and receives the GitHub token resolver.
- Registry requests add the resolved token as a Bearer authorization header.
- The registry client fetches its manifest through that authenticated request path.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the behavior is triggered when the CLI makes a registry request.
- The package also makes provider API requests for its stated project setup purpose.
