AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package source confirms vault credentials are supplied to an SDK, but does not establish the effective recipient or destination restrictions. This unresolved credential flow warrants manual review; the inspected Codex auth-path helper alone does not show credential transmission.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Creating the Maestro provider with a user ID and a corresponding vault key activates key forwarding to the SDK.

Impact

If the SDK forwards keys to an unintended destination, provider credentials could be exposed; the inspected source does not confirm that occurs.

Mechanism

The package passes vault values as SDK API key overrides; inspected package code does not establish the SDK’s destination or whether the keys go only to their intended providers.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/mcp-factories.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 73.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The flagged `mcp-factories.js` location resolves the Codex `auth.json` path under `CODEX_HOME` or `.codex`; that excerpt does not show a write or transmission.
The Maestro provider loads DeepSeek, Moonshot, and GLM keys from the user vault when a user ID is present.
The inspected provider code passes those keys as API key overrides to `maestro-agent-sdk`; the SDK’s actual destination is not established by the inspected source.

Evidence against

The package’s `postinstall` invokes two named helper installers; the inspected browser installer uses a versioned GitHub release URL and pinned SHA-256 values.
