Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Running any CLI command with telemetry enabled detects the surrounding coding agent and sandbox. It sends their identifiers with command telemetry to Expo's telemetry endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T16:18:45.642Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T16:20:02.924Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 8983 ms - **AI review time:** 68048 ms - **Total time:** 77282 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It sends their identifiers with command telemetry to Expo's telemetry endpoint. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI without EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY or EXPO\_OFFLINE. - **Impact:** Discloses coding-agent identity, agent session ID, and sandbox provider to a remote service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, build/bin/cli, build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/agent.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/Telemetry.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/clients/FetchClient.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/constants.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T16:20:02.924Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Coding-agent and sandbox fingerprinting added to telemetry events. - **Attack narrative:** The altered CLI automatically records telemetry when a command runs. Its added detector dependency identifies a coding agent and obtains its ID and session ID; the telemetry layer also adds sandbox identity. These values are placed into the event context and sent in a POST batch to the configured remote telemetry endpoint. This is unrelated to normal Expo command operation and creates a concrete environment-fingerprinting and data-exfiltration path. - **Rationale:** The package contains a complete, automatically invoked path that fingerprints coding-agent and sandbox environments and transmits the resulting identifiers. Although it has no install hook, the collection is concrete and unconsented when the CLI is used. - **Network endpoints:** https://cdp.expo.dev/v1/batch ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package adds libraries specifically to detect coding agents and sandboxes., Telemetry extracts a detected coding agent ID and session ID, plus the sandbox ID., The CLI records telemetry by default, embeds these identifiers in event context, and posts the batch to Expo telemetry. - **Evidence against:** There is no npm install lifecycle hook., The collection is triggered by running the CLI and can be disabled with EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY or offline mode., No source evidence shows destructive file changes or command execution related to the telemetry collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.22-depup.2. - Avoid installing @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.22-depup.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
