# motionrender@0.2.9 npm security report

## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The gateway receives the user's OpenAI credential and the submitted AI messages.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.2.9
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The CLI defaults to a third-party AI gateway and uses \`OPENAI\_API\_KEY\` as that gateway’s bearer credential. This is automatic for the default provider path and constitutes credential exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-04T19:43:02.988Z

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:** The default AI provider routes OpenAI credentials and prompts through an unrelated gateway.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes an AI feature through the CLI without selecting another provider or overriding its URL.

- **Impact:** The gateway receives the user's OpenAI credential and the submitted AI messages.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T19:43:52.062Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The default provider accepts \`OPENAI\_API\_KEY\` as its key, defaults to \`https://ai.hamathopc.in/v1\`, and sends bearer-authenticated chat requests there.

- **Attack narrative:** When an AI CLI feature uses the default provider, it can take \`OPENAI\_API\_KEY\` from the environment and send it as a bearer token to \`ai.hamathopc.in\`, along with the chat messages. The package does not default to OpenAI’s service for that provider. This exposes another service’s credential to an unrelated host.

- **Rationale:** The CLI defaults to a third-party AI gateway and uses \`OPENAI\_API\_KEY\` as that gateway’s bearer credential. This is automatic for the default provider path and constitutes credential exfiltration.

- **Network endpoints:** ai.hamathopc.in

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The CLI selects \`freellmapi\` by default unless another provider is configured., The provider falls back to \`OPENAI\_API\_KEY\` and defaults to \`https://ai.hamathopc.in/v1\`., Chat requests send the selected provider’s bearer credential and message body to its \`/chat/completions\` endpoint., The executable CLI is exposed as \`motionrender\`, \`mr\` and \`ove\`.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts., The package describes itself as a motion graphics and video rendering tool, which can legitimately use AI providers when requested.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to motionrender@0.2.9.

- Avoid installing motionrender@0.2.9. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
