## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.20.6
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The scanner conflates documented authenticated API traffic and explicit sidecar setup with exfiltration. Source inspection found no install-time execution, covert collection, remote payload execution, or unconsented broad control-surface mutation.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 unconsented install-time behavior is present. The explicit sidecar setup command can wire a Next.js project and route only user-approved origins through APIblaze.

- **Trigger:** User runs apiblaze init or apiblaze sidecar setup, then explicitly approves an origin.

- **Impact:** Approved application requests may transit the APIblaze proxy; no covert credential harvesting or malicious execution was confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js, dist/server/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T14:35:00.569Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked API proxy sidecar and CLI control-plane client.

- **Rationale:** The scanner conflates documented authenticated API traffic and explicit sidecar setup with exfiltration. Source inspection found no install-time execution, covert collection, remote payload execution, or unconsented broad control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** ~/.apiblaze/credentials.json, ~/.apiblaze/consumer.json, .env.local, .gitignore, instrumentation.ts, app/abz-inspector/page.tsx

- **Network endpoints:** https://dashboard.apiblaze.com, https://api.apiblaze.com, https://sidecar.abz.run, https://apikeys.apiblaze.com, https://iam.apiblaze.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/index.js: sidecar setup can write Next.js project files and invoke a package-manager install., dist/sidecar/index.js: explicitly registered sidecar wraps fetch and reports observed external origins.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time build/typecheck only., dist/index.js: credential storage is local ~/.apiblaze files with mode 0600., dist/index.js: child\_process usage only opens the user login URL or runs the explicit sidecar setup install., dist/index.js: sidecar mutation is reachable only through apiblaze init or apiblaze sidecar setup., dist/sidecar/index.js: unapproved, local, vendor, and telemetry origins are not routed; unapproved calls remain direct., Network calls target documented APIblaze service hosts and carry user-provided/session credentials for CLI operations.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.6.

- Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.6 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.
