## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 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:** 0.20.34
- **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.

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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious

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 registered sidecar globally intercepts fetch requests for approved origins. It retains caller-provided headers while redirecting requests to APIblaze-provided route bases, which can expose upstream service credentials to the proxy.

- **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.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T08:44:03.417Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The sidecar replaces global fetch, clones request headers, adds its own API key, and sends the request to a dynamically supplied proxy base.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** dist/sidecar/index.js, dist/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://sidecar.abz.run

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.34.

- Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.34 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.
