Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 1.7.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source shows default background analytics after CLI commands, with an environment-variable opt-out but no clear in-package disclosure. The transmitted data is limited to command metadata and service-assigned identifiers in the inspected code, so this warrants a telemetry warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:52:39.206Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:54:49.948Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 22336 ms - **AI review time:** 107375 ms - **Total time:** 130742 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Undisclosed runtime analytics are collected by a background process and sent to PostHog. - **Trigger:** A CLI command completes; collection is skipped only in tests or when APILIFT\_COLLECTOR\_DISABLED=1. - **Impact:** This exposes command-use metadata and account-linked identifiers to the analytics endpoint without a clear in-package disclosure; the inspected payload does not show credentials or command arguments. - **Evidence paths:** dist/apilift.js, dist/apilift-collector.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:54:49.948Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The collector queues command metadata and service-assigned account, workspace and installation IDs, then posts analytics batches when enabled by the service. - **Rationale:** The source shows default background analytics after CLI commands, with an environment-variable opt-out but no clear in-package disclosure. The transmitted data is limited to command metadata and service-assigned identifiers in the inspected code, so this warrants a telemetry warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** state.sqlite (in the Apilift data directory) - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts and exposes the CLI through dist/apilift.js., After a CLI command finishes, the CLI starts a background collector unless the collector is disabled by environment variable., Telemetry events include command, purpose, outcome, duration, stage and agent; batches also include account, workspace and installation IDs., The collector sends queued analytics to eu.i.posthog.com when the service enables analytics for the installation. - **Evidence against:** The collector requires the service-provided analytics setting to be enabled and restricts its host to the EU PostHog endpoint., The reviewed telemetry fields contain command metadata and service-assigned IDs; no credential values or command arguments are shown in the reported payload., The collector can be disabled with APILIFT\_COLLECTOR\_DISABLED=1., No install hook or automatic install-time network contact is declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apilift/cli@1.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @apilift/cli@1.7.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
