WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms that an operator-supplied API URL is persisted and receives bearer-authenticated requests, so conditional credential exposure warrants a warning. The default is package-aligned and the override is caller-supplied, with no evidence of covert forwarding or install-hook behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The caller runs `wayai login --api-url <URL>`, then uses an authenticated CLI command.
Impact
A selected untrusted endpoint can receive the caller's WayAI access token.
Mechanism
The CLI stores the supplied URL and later sends requests to it with the access token in the Authorization header; the URL is not constrained to the WayAI service.
AI rationale
The source confirms that an operator-supplied API URL is persisted and receives bearer-authenticated requests, so conditional credential exposure warrants a warning. The default is package-aligned and the override is caller-supplied, with no evidence of covert forwarding or install-hook behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes a CLI and lists no install lifecycle hook.
- The bundled CLI accepts an arbitrary value for `--api-url` without validating its destination.
- Login saves that API URL for later use.
- Authenticated requests use the configured API URL and attach the access token as a bearer credential.
- The bundle names `.claude`, `.opencode`, and `.agents` as skill installation locations; this alone does not establish harmful agent configuration behavior.
Evidence against
- The default API endpoint is the package's WayAI service.
- The custom endpoint requires the caller to supply `--api-url` during login; no hidden redirection was identified.
- The manifest contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
