AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package accepts an LLM API key and routes it by default to a fixed vendor gateway, creating a concrete credential disclosure path without clear consent for that destination. This is malicious credential exfiltration despite the app’s configurable endpoint and legitimate LLM functionality.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The server starts and the app makes an LLM request using a configured or environment-provided API key.
Impact
An API key intended for another provider can be disclosed to the package vendor's gateway, which may also receive the associated prompts.
Mechanism
The LLM provider takes its API key and base URL from app configuration; the default base URL is bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn.
Attack narrative
The server defaults LLM traffic to bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn and configures the user’s LLM API key as authentication for that endpoint. When the app makes an LLM request, the key and request go to the fixed gateway unless the user changes the base URL. The package does not establish clear consent for sending the credential to this vendor-controlled destination.
AI rationale
The package accepts an LLM API key and routes it by default to a fixed vendor gateway, creating a concrete credential disclosure path without clear consent for that destination. This is malicious credential exfiltration despite the app’s configurable endpoint and legitimate LLM functionality.

bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The default LLM endpoint is the fixed host bifrost.infra.dev.aimstek.cn.
- The app accepts an LLM API key and saves it to runtime configuration.
- The LLM provider uses that key with the configured base URL, which defaults to the fixed gateway.
- The server initializes the LLM configuration on startup; the key is used when the app makes LLM requests.
Evidence against
- The package is an AI workstation that needs an LLM endpoint and API key to provide its stated functionality.
- The LLM base URL is configurable, so users can direct requests to their chosen provider.
