## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.21.40
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The configurable dashboard destination and bearer-token forwarding create a concrete conditional credential exposure capability. The inspected code does not establish hidden theft, and the manifest has no install-time hook, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0%

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:** An operator who sets APIBLAZE\_DASHBOARD\_BASE can direct authenticated CLI requests to that configured host. This creates conditional exposure of the APIblaze session token.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI operation that makes an authenticated dashboard request while APIBLAZE\_DASHBOARD\_BASE is set.

- **Impact:** The configured recipient may receive the session token; source inspection does not establish covert transmission or malicious intent.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T21:51:42.885Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI builds dashboard request URLs from the environment-configured base and adds the existing bearer token.

- **Rationale:** The configurable dashboard destination and bearer-token forwarding create a concrete conditional credential exposure capability. The inspected code does not establish hidden theft, and the manifest has no install-time hook, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://dashboard.apiblaze.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 83.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI can use an existing APIblaze session token from the environment or saved credentials., The dashboard recipient can be overridden with an environment variable, and API requests attach the session token there., The package writes Codex MCP configuration only through runtime setup code; the inspected manifest has no install hook that triggers it., The Codex configuration path is selected from CODEX\_HOME or the user’s home directory.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest’s prepublishOnly hook runs build and typecheck; it is not an npm install hook., The inspected Codex setup requires a CLI option or interactive choice and performs registration after authorization.
