## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.20.13
- **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.

This is an explicit-user-command agent integration and proxy capability, not covert lifecycle malware. It merits a warning because it changes a global agent control surface and can proxy authenticated traffic.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-21T00:24:32.457Z

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:** An explicit apichat option can configure an APIblaze MCP endpoint in the user's Codex configuration. Its sidecar also globally intercepts fetch for user-approved origins.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`apichat --install-mcp codex\` or chooses the interactive MCP-install prompt; sidecar runs when imported and registered.

- **Impact:** Adds a remote MCP capability to Codex and can route application requests, including supplied API-key headers, through APIblaze infrastructure.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T00:25:32.994Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit agent-config installation and approved-origin fetch proxying.

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command agent integration and proxy capability, not covert lifecycle malware. It merits a warning because it changes a global agent control surface and can proxy authenticated traffic.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml, dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** \`apichat --install-mcp codex\` can add an MCP server to the user's Codex config., The installer rewrites matching APIblaze MCP blocks in the global Codex configuration., The sidecar replaces global fetch and forwards approved request origins through its proxy.

- **Evidence against:** No install, postinstall, or preinstall lifecycle hook is present., MCP installation is gated by an explicit CLI option or an interactive choice., The installer refuses to replace a same-named non-APIblaze Codex entry.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.13.

- Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.13 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.
