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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T03:51:41.818Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T03:52:48.634Z - **Download time:** 259 ms - **Static scan time:** 1753 ms - **AI review time:** 64802 ms - **Total time:** 66816 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 the current project and Codex or Claude MCP configuration. The opt-in sidecar redirects approved HTTPS requests through sidecar.abz.run and forwards an existing application API-key header. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/sidecar/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T03:52:48.634Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked project and agent configuration writes plus fetch interception and credential forwarding. - **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. - **Files touched:** .env.local, .gitignore, instrumentation.ts, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .codex/config.toml - **Network endpoints:** https://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:** 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to apiblaze@0.21.3. - Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.21.3 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.
