apiblaze@0.20.44
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-aiThis is a real, high-impact agent-extension and traffic-routing capability, but it is guarded by explicit CLI commands or an interactive choice rather than an install-time hook. Source inspection found no automatic lifecycle execution or concrete covert exfiltration chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs apichat with MCP installation or runs apiblaze init/sidecar setup.
Impact
A user-approved setup can expose API request traffic and configured API credentials to APIblaze endpoints and enable APIblaze tools in Codex.
Mechanism
User-invoked agent configuration and fetch interception.
AI rationale
This is a real, high-impact agent-extension and traffic-routing capability, but it is guarded by explicit CLI commands or an interactive choice rather than an install-time hook. Source inspection found no automatic lifecycle execution or concrete covert exfiltration chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit MCP-install flow writes an APIblaze MCP server, including an API key when supplied, into the Codex configuration.
- The user-invoked sidecar setup rewrites project environment and instrumentation files and installs apiblaze in that project.
- The sidecar replaces global fetch, reports external origins, and relays approved requests with its token.
Evidence against
- package.json has no npm install lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time only.
- MCP installation requires --install-mcp or an interactive selection and refuses a same-name non-APIblaze entry.
- The server client sends configured control-plane credentials to APIblaze service hosts for its stated API-management functions.
