Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. When telemetry is enabled during CLI use, the package detects coding-agent and sandbox identifiers and includes them in telemetry records. The records are sent to Expo's telemetry service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T16:18:55.638Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T16:22:06.463Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 8705 ms - **AI review time:** 181347 ms - **Total time:** 190825 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When telemetry is enabled during CLI use, the package detects coding-agent and sandbox identifiers and includes them in telemetry records. The records are sent to Expo's telemetry service. - **Trigger:** Running an Expo CLI command that records telemetry without EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY or EXPO\_OFFLINE set. - **Impact:** A remote service can link CLI telemetry to a coding-agent session and sandbox provider. - **Evidence paths:** build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/agent.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/sandbox.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:** 2026-09-08T16:22:06.463Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent and sandbox identification included in telemetry POST requests. - **Rationale:** The package has no installation lifecycle hook, but it collects coding-agent and sandbox identifiers for remote telemetry during normal CLI use. This creates a concrete data-collection risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/agent.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/utils/sandbox.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/Telemetry.js, build/src/utils/telemetry/clients/FetchClient.js - **Network endpoints:** https://cdp.expo.dev/v1/batch ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest adds a direct coding-agent detector dependency., The telemetry helper obtains a detected agent identifier and session identifier., The telemetry path also records a detected sandbox identifier., Telemetry adds those values to event context and posts JSON to Expo's telemetry endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The CLI entrypoint is user-invoked, and the inspected scanner-highlighted files otherwise implement Expo build, export, emulator, and package utilities., No source evidence showed secret-file harvesting, remote code loading, or agent configuration writes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.23-depup.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.23-depup.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
