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 has no registry-install lifecycle hook or covert automatic trigger, so a malicious verdict is not supported. Its explicit setup commands nevertheless alter agent/project control surfaces and proxy credential-bearing traffic. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T02:03:11.946Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T02:04:23.280Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 3085 ms - **AI review time:** 67740 ms - **Total time:** 71334 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:** Explicit CLI commands can modify a consumer project and Codex/agent configuration, then route selected application fetches through APIblaze. The runtime forwards request bodies and existing x-api-key values to service-provided proxy routes. - **Trigger:** The user runs apiblaze init or sidecar setup, or uses apichat with --install-mcp codex. - **Impact:** A user-installed sidecar can redirect application traffic and credentials; MCP setup can grant an external API server agent-tool access. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T02:04:23.280Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project and agent configuration mutation plus fetch interception and proxy forwarding. - **Rationale:** The package has no registry-install lifecycle hook or covert automatic trigger, so a malicious verdict is not supported. Its explicit setup commands nevertheless alter agent/project control surfaces and proxy credential-bearing traffic. - **Files touched:** .env.local, instrumentation.ts, AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/config.toml - **Network endpoints:** sidecar.abz.run ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** An explicit CLI option installs an API proxy as an external agent MCP server without an additional prompt., The CLI writes MCP settings containing an API-key header into the Codex configuration file., The sidecar replaces application fetch destinations with service-supplied routes and forwards request bodies and any existing x-api-key., The explicit sidecar setup command modifies the consumer project and can run a package-manager install. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly., The risky operations are reached through named CLI setup and MCP-install commands, not package installation or import alone., The network hosts and proxy behavior are aligned with the package's stated API-proxy function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.46. - Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.46 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.
