tina4-nodejs@3.13.117
Tina4 for Node.js/TypeScript - native TypeScript conventions and shared Tina4 contracts
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a real credential-forwarding capability to an unrestricted configured endpoint. Default official endpoints and explicit runtime configuration reduce the likelihood of covert malware, so blocking is not warranted.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An application calls the exported AI client with OpenAI or Anthropic mode, TINA4_AI_KEY, and a configured TINA4_AI_URL.
Impact
A misconfigured or attacker-controlled runtime URL can receive the configured AI service credential.
Mechanism
Credential-bearing request to an unrestricted operator-configured AI URL.
AI rationale
The package has a real credential-forwarding capability to an unrestricted configured endpoint. Default official endpoints and explicit runtime configuration reduce the likelihood of covert malware, so blocking is not warranted.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The main entrypoint is the bundled core file containing the AI client.
- The AI client accepts an unrestricted HTTP(S) URL from TINA4_AI_URL while loading TINA4_AI_KEY for OpenAI or Anthropic mode.
- It places that key in an authorization header and sends the header to the configured URL.
Evidence against
- The built-in defaults use the official OpenAI and Anthropic API hosts.
- The risky forwarding occurs only when an application invokes the AI client with a non-local provider and configured key.
