apiblaze@0.21.3
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-aiThe package has no automatic install hook, but its explicit setup commands create meaningful credential-routing and AI-agent configuration risk. The scanner's automatic-exfiltration conclusion is overstated because the relevant behavior is opt-in and package-aligned, yet it warrants a warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs apiblaze init, apiblaze apichat --install-mcp, or enables apiblaze/sidecar in project instrumentation.
Impact
An approved routed request can disclose its existing x-api-key and request traffic to the APIblaze routing service; MCP setup can give an external agent access to the configured API.
Mechanism
User-invoked project and agent configuration writes plus fetch interception and credential forwarding.
AI rationale
The package has no automatic install hook, but its explicit setup commands create meaningful credential-routing and AI-agent configuration risk. The scanner's automatic-exfiltration conclusion is overstated because the relevant behavior is opt-in and package-aligned, yet it warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit apichat command writes a standing instruction into the current project's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
- The explicit MCP setup writes an APIblaze server, including an API key when supplied, into Codex configuration.
- The sidecar replaces fetch and forwards an existing x-api-key to its routing service when an origin is approved.
- The explicit init command installs apiblaze into the selected project and rewrites project setup files.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- The configuration and project mutations are reachable through named user CLI commands, not package installation or import alone.
- The sidecar skips local/private hosts and is disabled when its token is absent.
