apiblaze@0.20.34
APIblaze CLI — Chat with your APIs, Manage your API keys, users and groups with the APIblaze serverless proxy
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package exposes a real conditional credential-forwarding capability to a dynamically supplied proxy destination. Explicit user setup and the absence of install-time activation reduce severity, but do not bind forwarded credentials to their intended service.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the sidecar setup command, approves an origin, and the instrumented application makes a fetch request to that origin.
Impact
Authorization or cookie credentials intended for an approved third-party origin may be forwarded through the APIblaze proxy.
Mechanism
The sidecar replaces global fetch, clones request headers, adds its own API key, and sends the request to a dynamically supplied proxy base.
AI rationale
The package exposes a real conditional credential-forwarding capability to a dynamically supplied proxy destination. Explicit user setup and the absence of install-time activation reduce severity, but do not bind forwarded credentials to their intended service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The sidecar replaces the process-wide fetch function after registration.
- It copies existing request headers and sends them to a route base supplied by the APIblaze sidecar service, without removing Authorization or Cookie headers.
- The explicit setup command writes application configuration and instrumentation that activates the sidecar.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle-like script is prepublishOnly.
- Routing occurs only after an explicit sidecar setup and approval flow, so the source does not establish covert activation.
