Security audit

Ainative React Sdk

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a normal AINative React SDK guide, but its example exposes a long-lived API key in browser code, which can leak credentials.

Review before installing or copying examples. Do not put AINative secret API keys in REACT_APP_ or VITE_ variables or pass them directly to browser providers; keep secrets on a backend and expose only scoped, short-lived, browser-safe tokens if the service supports them.

Finding
The documentation instructs developers to place a long-lived API key into client-side React environment variables and pass it directly into a browser provider. In CRA/Vite, these variables are bundled into the frontend and are trivially recoverable by any user of the app, enabling unauthorized API use, account abuse, and billing/credit theft; in a React SDK skill, this context makes the issue more dangerous because consumers are likely to copy the example verbatim into production.
