AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package injects a third-party script into a console that handles and stores API keys, which creates a real unresolved credential exposure risk. The inspected source does not show the remote script's behavior or confirm a credential transfer, so a warning is warranted rather than a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Opening the browser console route and entering an API key.
Impact
The remote script can access page data and the stored key. The source does not confirm actual credential transmission, so confirmed theft is not established.
Mechanism
The generated page inserts an asynchronous script from hyros-attribution-crm.vercel.app; the page also stores the API key in local browser storage and uses it for authenticated requests. The inspected package source does not establish what the remote script sends.
AI rationale
The package injects a third-party script into a console that handles and stores API keys, which creates a real unresolved credential exposure risk. The inspected source does not show the remote script's behavior or confirm a credential transfer, so a warning is warranted rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The server source defines an asynchronous script from hyros-attribution-crm.vercel.app and inserts it into the browser console page.
- The console asks users to enter an API key, stores it in browser storage, and uses it for authenticated requests.
- The package serves the generated console page at a browser route.
Evidence against
- The inspected package source does not show what the remotely hosted script sends, so it does not establish that the key is actually transmitted to that host.
