AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiRuntime telemetry is enabled by default and the README does not disclose it. The inspected events carry command usage and stable identifiers, so this is a privacy risk; the source does not show credential or file-content exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running CLI commands on a fresh installation; telemetry is enabled when configuration is absent.
Impact
The vendor can correlate command usage across sessions and machines, creating a privacy risk.
Mechanism
CLI events include command and setup information plus anonymous and persistent machine identifiers, then are POSTed to the vendor telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and the README does not disclose it. The inspected events carry command usage and stable identifiers, so this is a privacy risk; the source does not show credential or file-content exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled when no configuration exists, which is the fresh-install state.
- CLI startup and completion paths automatically emit command events with command and setup-state details.
- Telemetry payloads include anonymous and persistent machine identifiers, session ID, package and runtime versions, and platform.
- The package POSTs these events to https://canonry.ai/api/telemetry.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares build and development scripts but no install lifecycle hook.
- The telemetry endpoint belongs to the package publisher, and the inspected payload contains usage and runtime metadata rather than credentials or file contents.
