# aims-workstation@0.1.27 npm security report

## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The gateway receives the user's LLM credential, and plaintext transport exposes it to network observers.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.1.27
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package routes configured LLM credentials to a fixed vendor gateway over plaintext HTTP by default, with TLS verification disabled. This creates a concrete credential disclosure risk when users configure their key without also replacing the default endpoint.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Configured LLM API credentials can be sent to a fixed, plaintext gateway by default.

- **Trigger:** A model request or settings-page connectivity probe when an API key is configured and no replacement endpoint is set.

- **Impact:** The gateway receives the user's LLM credential, and plaintext transport exposes it to network observers.

- **Evidence paths:** server.js, .env.example

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T06:21:08.546Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The server defaults to bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn over HTTP and configures the LLM provider to use the configured or environment API key; TLS verification is disabled.

- **Attack narrative:** When a configured LLM key is used without a replacement endpoint, the workstation sends it to the hard-coded bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn gateway over HTTP. The package disables TLS certificate verification, so the credential is also exposed to network observers.

- **Rationale:** The package routes configured LLM credentials to a fixed vendor gateway over plaintext HTTP by default, with TLS verification disabled. This creates a concrete credential disclosure risk when users configure their key without also replacing the default endpoint.

- **Files touched:** ~/.aims-workstation/config/platform.json

- **Network endpoints:** http://bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The default LLM endpoint is the fixed plaintext URL http://bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn/v1., The LLM provider resolves the configured or environment API key and uses it with that endpoint for model requests., TLS certificate verification is disabled process-wide., The server initializes the LLM provider at startup; model requests and the settings-page connectivity probe can send the key.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall scripts., The README describes a local workstation and says users can configure an arbitrary OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint., Provider initialization alone does not send a request; the key is transmitted when a model request or connectivity probe runs.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to aims-workstation@0.1.27.

- Avoid installing aims-workstation@0.1.27. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
