AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe TUI crash handler silently uploads identifying crash diagnostics to the configured Genesis service on unhandled rejections. This is suspicious runtime telemetry because the upload can include host and command details and bypasses the reporter's normal consent prompt.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An unhandled promise rejection occurs while the full-screen TUI is active.
Impact
The configured Genesis service may receive identifying machine details and potentially sensitive diagnostic text without the user's consent.
Mechanism
The crash reporter builds a report with error details, stack, command, and host context, then silently posts it to the Genesis feedback endpoint.
AI rationale
The TUI crash handler silently uploads identifying crash diagnostics to the configured Genesis service on unhandled rejections. This is suspicious runtime telemetry because the upload can include host and command details and bypasses the reporter's normal consent prompt.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI installs the crash reporter during startup.
- Crash reports include error messages, stack traces, the current command, and host information.
- When an unhandled rejection occurs while the TUI is active, the reporter submits it silently without asking the user.
- Crash reports are posted to the configured Genesis URL, defaulting to localhost:8001.
Evidence against
- The flagged grid gateway requests are part of explicit grid sync or pull commands and use the Aitherium gateway.
- The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
