## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.19.32
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source disproves the scanner's implied install-time credential theft: there is no install hook and the relevant behavior is explicit CLI setup. The documented proxy can handle credentials and request data, so it merits a warning rather than a clean verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-08T11:12:15.781Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-08T11:13:00.084Z

- **Static scan time:** 1244 ms
- **AI review time:** 42553 ms
- **Total time:** 44303 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:** The optional sidecar can proxy approved application HTTPS fetches through APIblaze, including request bodies and an existing x-api-key. No unconsented install-time attack behavior was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs apiblaze init or apiblaze sidecar setup, then enables and approves an origin.

- **Impact:** Approved upstream API credentials and request data are exposed to the selected APIblaze proxy service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js, dist/server/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T11:13:00.084Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit project wiring plus global fetch interception and proxy forwarding.

- **Rationale:** Source disproves the scanner's implied install-time credential theft: there is no install hook and the relevant behavior is explicit CLI setup. The documented proxy can handle credentials and request data, so it merits a warning rather than a clean verdict.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js, .env.local, .gitignore, instrumentation.ts, app/abz-inspector/page.tsx

- **Network endpoints:** https://sidecar.abz.run/routes, https://sidecar.abz.run/observed, https://dashboard.apiblaze.com, https://api.apiblaze.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/sidecar/index.js replaces globalThis.fetch and routes approved HTTPS origins through APIblaze., Routed requests preserve body and forward an existing x-api-key as x-abz-fwd-x-api-key., Explicit sidecar setup writes project configuration and invokes a package-manager install command.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has only prepublishOnly; no install-time lifecycle hook., Sidecar modification is reached only through documented apiblaze init/sidecar setup commands., Unapproved, local, and listed telemetry origins go direct; no broad environment harvesting found., Endpoints and credential handling are APIblaze service functionality, not a hidden unrelated destination.

## Affected versions and remediation
