Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Scanner signals correspond to documented CLI functionality: credentialed API calls, optional BYO-LLM chat, and explicit sidecar setup. Source inspection found no install-time execution or unconsented credential exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T11:13:09.655Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T11:13:56.036Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 1526 ms - **AI review time:** 44090 ms - **Total time:** 46381 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is an API-management CLI/sidecar whose sensitive network and project-write behavior is tied to explicit commands and approved routing. - **Trigger:** User runs login, chat, sidecar setup, or an API-management command. - **Impact:** User-authorized API operations; approved sidecar routes can carry application request data through the service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T11:13:56.036Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** authenticated API client and opt-in request proxy - **Rationale:** Scanner signals correspond to documented CLI functionality: credentialed API calls, optional BYO-LLM chat, and explicit sidecar setup. Source inspection found no install-time execution or unconsented credential exfiltration chain. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js, package.json, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://dashboard.apiblaze.com, https://api.apiblaze.com, https://sidecar.abz.run ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/index.js explicitly stores an optional LLM key and sends it only during a user-initiated chat turn., dist/sidecar/index.js can forward approved HTTPS requests, including bodies and an x-api-key header, through APIblaze. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time build/typecheck., dist/index.js network calls use disclosed APIblaze service endpoints and authenticated CLI commands., Sidecar routing activates only after explicit setup plus origin approval; other requests remain direct., Credentials are stored locally with mode 0600 in ~/.apiblaze., child\_process use is limited to opening the login browser and explicit sidecar package installation., No eval/vm, payload download/execution, broad harvesting, or stealth persistence was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.4. - Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.4 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.
