Agent-first open-source AEO operating platform - track how answer engines cite your domain

AI Security Review

scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The package is a CLI/server tool with opt-out telemetry, local config writes, explicit skill installation, and provider/API integrations aligned with its AEO platform purpose.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User runs canonry/cnry CLI commands, serve/init/skills install, or MCP server.

Impact

Telemetry and local project/config modifications occur during normal use; no unconsented lifecycle execution or credential exfiltration was confirmed.

Mechanism

user-invoked CLI operations, telemetry, local config and skill setup

Rationale

Static source inspection found privacy-sensitive telemetry and user-invoked agent skill writes, but they are disclosed or command-triggered and aligned with the package's CLI product behavior. There is no lifecycle hook, hidden import-time payload, credential harvesting, persistence, destructive action, or unconsented AI-agent control mutation.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

dist/chunk-XRKGLZF6.js builds a deterministic anonymous ID from hostname and MAC when no config ID exists, then posts telemetry to canonry.ai.
dist/cli.js sends cli.command telemetry on normal CLI runs when telemetry is enabled.
dist/chunk-XRKGLZF6.js can install bundled skills into .claude/skills and symlink .codex/skills, but only via explicit skills install/init flow.

Evidence against

package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall lifecycle scripts.
bin/canonry.mjs and bin/canonry-mcp.mjs only import CLI/MCP entrypoints; no install-time execution.
Telemetry is disclosed in first-run notice and can be disabled by config, CANONRY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED, DO_NOT_TRACK, or CI.
Child process usage is package-aligned: opening OAuth URL, daemonizing local server, or user-invoked DuckDB plugin install.
Credential references are for local Canonry config, OAuth integrations, and database migrations; no source shows credential harvesting/exfiltration.
