AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source verifies conditional forwarding of an existing session token to saved remote server URLs, so a credential exposure warning is warranted. The account-scoped configuration and intended server-management flow do not establish a package-selected unrelated recipient or malicious intent.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Opening the browser interface while signed in with one or more saved servers.

Impact

A destination that should not receive the token could obtain the user’s nixamp session credential.

Mechanism

The interface retrieves the existing account token, associates it with saved HTTP(S) server URLs, and sends it in bearer-authenticated requests to the selected server.

AI rationale

/api/v1/auth/token/api/v1/serversSaved HTTP(S) server origins

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The authenticated token endpoint returns the caller’s existing session token.
The browser fetches that token and the caller’s saved server list, then associates the token with saved remote URLs.
Remote API requests use the selected server URL and send the token as a bearer credential.
On page load, the browser selects the previously used server or the first saved server and connects to it.
Saved server URLs may use any HTTP or HTTPS origin; the source does not restrict them to a trusted host.

Evidence against

The server list is scoped to the authenticated account, and the feature manages servers saved by that account.
The token forwarding supports remote nixamp server management; the inspected source does not show a package-selected recipient or install-time execution.

2 * Any link, played.

6 * the way it plays a catalog entry: as a channel of its own, started for

7 * whoever asked and stopped a minute after the last viewer leaves. The

8 * working-out is yt-dlp's, which knows a thousand sites and is updated

9 * weekly; this module only asks it the right question and reads the answer.

10 *

11 * Two questions, in fact. "Where is it" is `yt-dlp -j`, one JSON object with

12 * the chosen format's direct URL, its title, and whether it is live. "Give it

13 * to me" is `yt-dlp -o -`, the whole file down a pipe, which is what the

14 * Download button hands to the browser -- the server fetches, the person's

15 * own machine keeps it.

16 *

17 * Some sites want a signed-in cookie before they will say anything (YouTube

18 * from a datacenter, Vimeo). A Netscape cookies file at

19 * ~/.local/state/nixamp/cookies.txt is passed through when it exists, and

20 * the error is otherwise repeated to the person, who can decide.
