## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.4.2
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The fallback can forward an environment-held API key to a package-selected endpoint when no endpoint is configured. Source does not establish an unrelated recipient or malicious intent, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

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:** A configured solver API key can be sent to the bundled endpoint when the endpoint setting is absent. The source does not establish that the endpoint is unrelated, so this is a conditional credential exposure.

- **Trigger:** Run a solver command with SOLVIT\_API\_KEY set and no endpoint configured in the environment or saved settings.

- **Impact:** The environment-held API key may be disclosed to the package-selected endpoint.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/solvit.js, bin/defaults.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T03:43:40.755Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The fallback selects the bundled base URL while taking SOLVIT\_API\_KEY ahead of the bundled key, then sends the selected key in the request’s authorization header.

- **Rationale:** The fallback can forward an environment-held API key to a package-selected endpoint when no endpoint is configured. Source does not establish an unrelated recipient or malicious intent, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Network endpoints:** http://144.24.117.169:20128/v1/chat/completions

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** When no endpoint is configured, the solver selects the bundled endpoint but prefers an environment-held SOLVIT\_API\_KEY; its request sends that key as a bearer token., Chat credentials are entered for login or signup and sent to the server selected from configuration, saved settings, the built-in service, or an interactive prompt; the session token is saved locally with restrictive permissions., The manifest exposes the CLI entrypoint and declares no install lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** The bundled endpoint is part of the CLI’s solver and chat service configuration, and source does not establish that it is unrelated to the package., The README instructs users to configure the solver endpoint and API key together; the exposure requires a key to be present while the endpoint is unset.

## Affected versions and remediation
