AI Security Review

scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

A runtime-reachable research agent forwards a caller's API credential to a fixed external worker. Public exports also expose code that can create signed cryptocurrency payment transfers from environment private keys.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Import the package and invoke the exported Polyfactual research or x402 payment functionality with the relevant environment variables.

Impact

The external gateway can receive the caller's API credential; invoked payment functions can authorize transfers from configured wallets.

Mechanism

Credential forwarding to a fixed gateway and private-key-backed payment signing.

Attack narrative

The package's public entrypoint exposes a research path that obtains POLYFACTUAL_API_KEY from the environment and posts it in an X-API-Key header to a fixed worker domain unrelated to the declared package identity. The bundled module also includes wallet signing and token-transfer routines driven by private keys from environment variables. Although these paths are user-invoked rather than install-time, forwarding a credential to that fixed gateway is a concrete exfiltration risk.

AI rationale

The hard-coded credential forwarding is not necessary for local package operation and directs a caller secret to an unrelated gateway. Absence of lifecycle hooks reduces automatic-install risk but does not remove the runtime credential-exfiltration behavior.
