## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 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:** 1.2.8
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 package has no npm install hook, but its shipped bootstrap installers send host-identifying telemetry by default, which warrants a warning under the telemetry rules. The package’s normal CLI entry point is separate from those installers.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T19:45:54.540Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-31T19:46:52.011Z
- **Download time:** 778 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1111 ms
- **AI review time:** 55580 ms
- **Total time:** 57471 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:** The optional bootstrap installers send identifying host telemetry by default.

- **Trigger:** A user runs scripts/install.sh or scripts/install.ps1; each sends a startup event.

- **Impact:** BeeOS receives a hostname-derived identifier and platform details during installation. No credential or project-data transfer was identified in this telemetry.

- **Evidence paths:** scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T19:46:52.011Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The installers include the machine hostname, architecture, Node version, event and status in a POST to BeeOS install telemetry. BEEOS\_NO\_TELEMETRY=1 opts out.

- **Rationale:** The package has no npm install hook, but its shipped bootstrap installers send host-identifying telemetry by default, which warrants a warning under the telemetry rules. The package’s normal CLI entry point is separate from those installers.

- **Network endpoints:** https://public-api.beeos.ai/api/v1/telemetry/install

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The shell installer sends install telemetry containing a hostname-derived host\_hint and platform details., The PowerShell installer includes the computer name in its telemetry payload and posts to the install telemetry endpoint., The installer telemetry is sent by default; BEEOS\_NO\_TELEMETRY=1 disables it.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares only prepublishOnly, which builds the package; it has no npm install lifecycle hook., The bin entry imports the CLI bundle when the beeos command runs; the flagged installer scripts are separate from that entry point.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @beeos-ai/cli@1.2.8.

- Review the evidence and your use of @beeos-ai/cli@1.2.8 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
