AI Security Review
scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe 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.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
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.
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.
AI 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.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
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.
