Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — ChatGPT OAuth credentials are disclosed to an endpoint the package itself says is not intended to receive them. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 admin diagnostic sends stored ChatGPT OAuth tokens to a fixed platform API endpoint without recipient-specific consent, despite source explicitly distinguishing that endpoint from the intended OAuth destination. This is concrete credential disclosure and warrants blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T05:04:07.215Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T05:04:51.742Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 3218 ms - **AI review time:** 40806 ms - **Total time:** 44527 ms 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 admin diagnostics route sends stored ChatGPT OAuth access tokens to the OpenAI platform API endpoint. - **Trigger:** A request to the mounted /admin/diag-test route. - **Impact:** ChatGPT OAuth credentials are disclosed to an endpoint the package itself says is not intended to receive them. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:04:51.742Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The handler iterates over stored credentials and puts each access token in a bearer authorization header for a request to api.openai.com, then also tests the ChatGPT Codex endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** A request to /admin/diag-test causes the package to send every stored credential's access token to api.openai.com. The handler then separately sends the token to the ChatGPT Codex endpoint. The package configuration distinguishes platform API credentials from ChatGPT OAuth credentials and states that OAuth tokens should not be sent to api.openai.com. - **Rationale:** The admin diagnostic sends stored ChatGPT OAuth tokens to a fixed platform API endpoint without recipient-specific consent, despite source explicitly distinguishing that endpoint from the intended OAuth destination. This is concrete credential disclosure and warrants blocking publication. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions, https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The mounted admin diagnostics route loops over stored credentials and sends each access token as a bearer token to the fixed OpenAI platform API endpoint., The same diagnostic also sends the token to the ChatGPT Codex endpoint, and package configuration distinguishes ChatGPT OAuth tokens from platform API credentials., The package source explicitly states that ChatGPT OAuth tokens should not be sent to api.openai.com. - **Evidence against:** The transfer requires a request to the diagnostics route; no install-time lifecycle hook triggers it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-auther@1.1.1. - Avoid installing open-auther@1.1.1. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
