AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe daemon sends runtime telemetry by default to the package’s own service, while the README does not clearly disclose that collection. The data is restricted to ordinary event and machine metadata, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Starting the daemon with telemetry not explicitly disabled in configuration.
Impact
The service receives anonymous or pseudonymous usage and machine metadata; no credential or file-content exfiltration was identified.
Mechanism
Telemetry records whitelisted events and metadata, queues them locally, then periodically POSTs batches to the configured endpoint, which defaults to Awareness Market.
AI rationale
The daemon sends runtime telemetry by default to the package’s own service, while the README does not clearly disclose that collection. The data is restricted to ordinary event and machine metadata, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Daemon startup enables telemetry unless the user explicitly disables it in config.
- Telemetry batches are POSTed to the package’s default service endpoint at https://awareness.market/api/v1/telemetry/events.
- Startup events include version, OS, Node version, architecture, and locale; telemetry also attaches an installation ID.
Evidence against
- Telemetry event types and property keys are whitelisted, limiting the data collected.
- The installation ID is random or derived by hashing a device ID with a fixed salt.
- The telemetry endpoint belongs to the package’s own service, and the collected fields are ordinary usage and machine metadata.
