@deveco-test/deveco-cli-common@1.3.10-Test.2
HarmonyOS application development command line tool
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends runtime telemetry by default to its vendor's endpoint and includes machine details beyond basic anonymous usage metrics. An opt-out exists, but the reviewed source does not establish that users are informed, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
CLI startup and command activity, unless telemetry is disabled with DEVECO_CLI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 or true.
Impact
The endpoint receives persistent and session identifiers, runtime and OS details, total RAM, and event details, creating an undisclosed telemetry risk.
Mechanism
The CLI records structured trace events locally and starts a background process to upload pending events to the Huawei endpoint.
AI rationale
The package sends runtime telemetry by default to its vendor's endpoint and includes machine details beyond basic anonymous usage metrics. An opt-out exists, but the reviewed source does not establish that users are informed, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI initializes telemetry and starts its scheduler by default unless DEVECO_CLI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY is set to 1 or true.
- Telemetry uploads go to Huawei DevEco Studio's CLI trace endpoint; the background process flushes pending events at startup.
- Trace events include a persistent install ID, session ID, runtime and OS details, total RAM, and event details; the source does not establish that users are told about this collection.
Evidence against
- The package describes itself as a HarmonyOS development CLI, and the telemetry endpoint is on Huawei's DevEco Studio domain.
- Users can disable telemetry with DEVECO_CLI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 or true.
- The reviewed telemetry code does not show credential collection or transmission to an unrelated host.
