spacecode@2.16.64
SpaceCode - launch cloud dev environments with AI coding agents
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source did not support the scanner's claim of a fixed unofficial credential gateway: authentication uses SpaceCode defaults, while a custom API URL is configurable. No lifecycle hook or separate malicious behavior was identified in the reviewed paths.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The user invokes a CLI or MCP command; authentication occurs when the command requires it.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized credential transfer, persistence, or other attack effect was established.
Mechanism
The CLI uses SpaceCode service defaults and supports an API URL set through configuration or an environment variable.
AI rationale
The inspected source did not support the scanner's claim of a fixed unofficial credential gateway: authentication uses SpaceCode defaults, while a custom API URL is configurable. No lifecycle hook or separate malicious behavior was identified in the reviewed paths.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes CLI and MCP binaries and declares no lifecycle hook.
- Both entrypoints use SpaceCode service defaults for API traffic.
- The CLI saves an API key only after the user supplies one or completes device login.
- A custom API URL is saved through a configuration command and used by the client.
- Reviewed dependency sources identify the SDK, terminal styling library, and command-line parser.

•Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration.
dist/index.js:
baseUrl;
constructor(baseUrl, token) {
this.baseUrl = baseUrl ?? process.env.SPACECODE_API_URL ?? DEFAULT_API_URL;
const url = `${this.baseUrl}${path6}`;
headers["Authorization"] = `Bearer ${this.token}`;
throw new AuthError("Authentication failed. Please check your API key or run a command to re-authenticate");
const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/health`, {
const url = `${this.baseUrl}/api/auth/exchange`;
High
Credential Redirect Persistence
Manifest-reachable source sends a prompted API credential to a fixed unofficial gateway and persists the redirection.
