Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for 财神 AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 13h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime command and error telemetry to its own service by default, without an evident disclosure in the inspected README or source. The opt-out and masking reduce exposure, but undisclosed default runtime telemetry warrants a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running ordinary CLI commands; telemetry is enabled unless explicitly disabled through TELEMETRY.
Impact
The publisher receives command and error diagnostics without an explicit opt-in; this is undisclosed runtime telemetry.
Mechanism
The CLI tracks command events, then posts event batches with installation and runtime metadata to its telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime command and error telemetry to its own service by default, without an evident disclosure in the inspected README or source. The opt-out and masking reduce exposure, but undisclosed default runtime telemetry warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; it is disabled only when TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
- Telemetry events include command details and may include error text, masked and limited to 2,000 characters.
- Ordinary CLI invocations record filtered command-line flags and send event batches to the package service.
- The telemetry payload includes an install ID, CLI version, brand, operating system, OS release, architecture, and Node.js version.
Evidence against
- The telemetry destination is the package's own configured gateway at ai.caishen.best.
- The code provides a TELEMETRY environment variable opt-out and masks home paths and common secret formats in error text.
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts; the flagged shell and persistence features fit the CLI's tool setup and configuration purpose.
