Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The bundle accepts arbitrary environment or saved API URLs and forwards the saved token without a visible destination allowlist, which warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure. The package defaults to its own API and the inspected source does not establish a fixed third-party recipient or covert transfer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T02:34:31.887Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T02:35:42.659Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 6097 ms - **AI review time:** 64164 ms - **Total time:** 70772 ms 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:** Authenticated CLI requests can send a saved bearer token to a configurable API URL. The source does not show a host allowlist for that URL, so an unintended or untrusted configured destination could receive the token. - **Trigger:** A user runs an authenticated CLI command while AMBI\_API\_URL or saved API URL configuration points to a non-Ambiguous endpoint. - **Impact:** Conditional exposure of the saved service credential to the configured endpoint; no evidence establishes covert theft or malicious intent. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T02:35:42.659Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The request layer selects the configured URL, creates the request there, and adds the saved token as a Bearer authorization header; authentication also persists a non-default URL alongside the credential. - **Rationale:** The bundle accepts arbitrary environment or saved API URLs and forwards the saved token without a visible destination allowlist, which warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure. The package defaults to its own API and the inspected source does not establish a fixed third-party recipient or covert transfer. - **Files touched:** .ambi/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.ambiguous.ai, AMBI\_API\_URL-configured endpoint ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published CLI entrypoint loads the distribution bundle., The API URL can come from an environment variable or saved local/global config without a visible host allowlist., The request layer builds requests to that URL and attaches the saved bearer token., Authentication saves the API URL with the credential, so later CLI requests can reuse that destination. - **Evidence against:** The default production API is api.ambiguous.ai, and the reviewed sign-in flow exchanges credentials with the selected API URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ambiguous@0.9.9. - Review the evidence and your use of ambiguous@0.9.9 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
