Zero-Config, Fully AI-Managed End-to-End Testing for all code gen platforms.
AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package enables runtime telemetry by default and sends a Git-derived repository name to PostHog, a detail not disclosed in its telemetry event description. The hashed telemetry ID and opt-out reduce exposure, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A tool call performs project lookup when a repository name is available.
Impact
Repository identity may be disclosed to the analytics service; no raw API key is sent in the telemetry distinct ID.
Mechanism
The package derives an owner/repo value from Git’s origin remote and includes it in a PROJECT_LOOKUP event sent through its default PostHog provider. The README describes project lookup telemetry and an opt-out but does not disclose that repository names are included.
AI rationale
The package enables runtime telemetry by default and sends a Git-derived repository name to PostHog, a detail not disclosed in its telemetry event description. The hashed telemetry ID and opt-out reduce exposure, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The runtime config embeds a PostHog project key so telemetry is sent by default.
- Project lookup telemetry includes `repoName` in its event properties.
- The package derives `repoName` from the Git origin remote as an `owner/repo` value.
- The README discloses project lookup telemetry and an opt-out, but does not list `repoName` among the captured event fields.
Evidence against
- The README says the API key is hashed for the telemetry distinct ID and provides a way to disable telemetry.
- The package’s stated purpose includes sending user-requested test workflow data to DebuggAI’s API.
