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 flagged verification code uses DATABASE\_URL for an explicit project smoke test, so that finding does not show credential exfiltration. However, default runtime telemetry sends error messages and exceptions that may include local paths or user-provided details beyond what the notice describes, warranting a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:54:57.013Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:55:55.810Z - **Download time:** 1268 ms - **Static scan time:** 346 ms - **AI review time:** 57181 ms - **Total time:** 58797 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:** Default runtime telemetry may send command error text and exception details that the first-run notice does not disclose. - **Trigger:** A CLI command starts telemetry by default; failures can trigger error reporting unless telemetry is disabled. - **Impact:** Error details could reveal identifying information such as local paths to the package vendor’s analytics or monitoring services. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/hooks/init/telemetry.js, dist/lib/base-command.js, dist/lib/telemetry/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:55:55.810Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends failure messages to PostHog and uncaught exceptions to Sentry, which may include local paths or user-provided details. - **Rationale:** The flagged verification code uses DATABASE\_URL for an explicit project smoke test, so that finding does not show credential exfiltration. However, default runtime telemetry sends error messages and exceptions that may include local paths or user-provided details beyond what the notice describes, warranting a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.apso/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com, https://o4509208616435714.ingest.us.sentry.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI configures an init hook that starts telemetry for command invocations., On command failures, it reports the raw error message and sends uncaught exceptions with command context; these can contain local paths or user-provided details., Telemetry is sent to the package’s PostHog and Sentry services., A first-run notice describes basic usage telemetry and offers opt-outs, but does not disclose sending command error text or exception details., The flagged DATABASE\_URL handling is part of an explicitly invoked smoke-test helper that reads project configuration and runs the project service. - **Evidence against:** The notice says telemetry can be disabled through CLI configuration or environment variables., The telemetry description says it does not collect code, schemas, or file contents; no credential exfiltration was identified., The verification helper uses DATABASE\_URL to test the project database rather than sending it to a collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apso/cli@0.45.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @apso/cli@0.45.0 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.
