## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The invoked CLI is a local agent/server orchestration tool with opt-out telemetry and user-directed command execution.

- **Trigger:** User runs synaptic-code and uses its server, terminal, provider, or service commands.

- **Impact:** Normal operation can execute user-selected development commands and send limited telemetry.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T04:39:16.026Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** local agent-server orchestration and hashed usage telemetry

- **Rationale:** The static alert conflates the package's intended CLI/server capabilities with malware behavior. Source shows no install-time execution, credential theft, command-output exfiltration, or unauthorized AI-agent control-surface mutation.

- **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** dist/bin.mjs reads account IDs from Codex/Claude config, hashes them, and sends startup telemetry by default., dist/bin.mjs can run user-requested terminal, Git, Tailscale, and agent-provider commands.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., dist/bin.mjs executes only when the synaptic-code CLI is invoked., Telemetry sends a SHA-256 identifier plus platform/version and project/thread counts to PostHog; no tokens or command output are included., Pinned-runtime npm install and Tailscale actions are reachable through explicit runtime/service features, not installation., No code found that modifies foreign AI-agent configuration or exfiltrates credentials/command output.
