Threat model

shim has no inbound authentication. It trusts the network boundary between itself and the client, and is built to run on loopback (BIND_ADDR=127.0.0.1, the default). The inbound Authorization header is discarded; shim authenticates upstream with UPSTREAM_API_KEY.

Binding to a non-loopback address exposes an unauthenticated proxy carrying your upstream key, and for keyless presets (Ollama) an open relay to the local model. shim emits a startup WARN in that case. Put an authenticating reverse proxy in front if you must bind wide. This posture is by design, not a vulnerability.

Logs redact Authorization, prompt and message content, URL query strings, and credential-shaped keys by default (LOG_REDACT=true).
