Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 30 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:** 1.25.0 - **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. This is conditional credential exposure: the key is sent to an unrestricted alternate URL only when OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL is configured, while the shipped default is the intended OpenRouter API. No package-selected off-service recipient or install-time attack was found, so a warning is appropriate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T13:47:22.931Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T13:50:23.750Z - **Download time:** 3348 ms - **Static scan time:** 23109 ms - **AI review time:** 154360 ms - **Total time:** 180819 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:** A saved or environment-provided OpenRouter key can be sent to a host selected through OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL. The shipped default is OpenRouter, but the configured destination is not host-restricted. - **Trigger:** Set OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL to another host and run a model, embedding, key-check, generation-lookup, or OAuth exchange operation. - **Impact:** The selected host can receive the credential or OAuth exchange data. No package-selected unrelated recipient was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T13:50:23.750Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package builds OpenRouter request URLs from OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL and attaches the OpenRouter key or OAuth exchange data to requests. - **Rationale:** This is conditional credential exposure: the key is sent to an unrestricted alternate URL only when OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL is configured, while the shipped default is the intended OpenRouter API. No package-selected off-service recipient or install-time attack was found, so a warning is appropriate. - **Network endpoints:** https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The OpenRouter key can come from environment variables or persisted configuration, and OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL can replace the default https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 endpoint., Chat requests send the key as a Bearer header to the computed URL; embedding and generation lookup requests use the same configurable base and key., User-entered key checks and OAuth code exchange also use the computed OpenRouter URL., package.json has no install lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly runs the build, and the autopilot binary imports the CLI entrypoint., The flagged agent integration reads bounded conventional project context files and adds them to the model prompt; it does not mutate agent configuration. - **Evidence against:** The default API destination is OpenRouter; the alternate destination requires an explicit OPENROUTER\_BASE\_URL setting, and no package-selected unrelated recipient was found., The agent context-file behavior is ordinary prompt setup, not an install-time control-surface change. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to autopilot-ai@1.25.0. - Review the evidence and your use of autopilot-ai@1.25.0 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.
