nitxui@2.3.5
The official UI component library for Nitx projects.
AI Security Review
scanned 15h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe published runtime entrypoint contains an active credential-forwarding path to a package-selected endpoint, triggered by a user changing language. This supports blocking publication as credential exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A consumer renders the account preferences component and the user changes the language.
Impact
A credential belonging to the consuming application may be disclosed to the package-selected Nitx endpoint.
Mechanism
The change invokes an account update request that selects a token from available client state, cookies, or storage and sends it in an Authorization header.
Attack narrative
When a user changes the account language, the package sends an account update request. If no API client or URL override handles the request, the code searches common cookie and storage locations for a token and attaches it to the request. On non-Nitx hosts, the default recipient is api.dev.nitx.app, creating a path for credentials from the consuming application to be disclosed to that endpoint.
AI rationale
The published runtime entrypoint contains an active credential-forwarding path to a package-selected endpoint, triggered by a user changing language. This supports blocking publication as credential exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 95.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The manifest exposes dist/index.mjs as the package entrypoint.
- The entrypoint searches common session and token cookie names for credentials.
- The request can take a token from cookies or browser storage, add it as an Authorization header, and send it with a POST.
- On hosts outside Nitx domains, the default recipient is api.dev.nitx.app.
- Changing the account language calls the request helper without requiring recipient-specific consent.
