5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

brand impersonation

Domain 'yahooapis.jp' closely mimics Yahoo's legitimate API infrastructure domain 'yahooapis.com', substituting the TLD with '.jp' to impersonate a Yahoo-affiliated service. This pattern is commonly used to deceive users, developers, or AI agents into trusting the domain as an official Yahoo endpoint. (location: domain: yahooapis.jp)

high

phishing

The domain impersonates a well-known brand (Yahoo APIs) with a failed TLS connection and no valid certificate, serving empty page content. This infrastructure profile is consistent with a dormant or staged phishing domain awaiting payload deployment or used for targeted campaigns. (location: domain: yahooapis.jp, TLS: connected=false, cert_valid=false)

medium

malicious redirect

The site returns empty page content despite the domain being active. This is consistent with a redirect-only or cloaked infrastructure that serves different content to targeted visitors (e.g., bots, specific geolocations, or referred traffic) while appearing empty to scanners. (location: page.html (empty), page-text.txt (empty))

medium

credential harvesting

A domain impersonating Yahoo APIs with invalid TLS and no visible content may be used as a backend endpoint for credential harvesting, where stolen credentials are silently posted to this domain from malicious forms hosted elsewhere. (location: domain: yahooapis.jp, metadata.json: tls.cert_valid=false, tls.san_match=false)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is yahooapis.jp safe for AI agents to use?

yahooapis.jp currently scores 48/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
