## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.21.6
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package contains an explicit capability to alter Codex MCP configuration, which warrants a warning under the policy. Static inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete covert attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-22T01:56:17.217Z

- **Static scan time:** 1974 ms
- **AI review time:** 48768 ms
- **Total time:** 51253 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:** No covert install-time attack was identified. An explicit CLI action can modify an external AI-agent MCP configuration.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the apichat command with --install-mcp codex.

- **Impact:** This adds an agent-accessible MCP endpoint and may include supplied API credentials; no automatic or unconsented activation was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T01:57:08.470Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The command writes an APIblaze MCP server block to the Codex configuration file.

- **Rationale:** The package contains an explicit capability to alter Codex MCP configuration, which warrants a warning under the policy. Static inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete covert attack behavior.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entrypoint and has no npm install lifecycle hook., The explicit apichat MCP-install option can add an MCP server to an external agent CLI., The Codex installation routine writes a new MCP server block into the user's Codex configuration.

- **Evidence against:** The agent configuration change requires an explicit CLI option., Existing non-APIblaze MCP entries with the same name are rejected rather than replaced.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to apiblaze@0.21.6.

- Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.21.6 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
