It derives a stable identifier from another AI tool's local auth/config metadata and sends it with product-usage metrics. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T04:37:18.289Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T04:38:40.041Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 37604 ms - **AI review time:** 42875 ms - **Total time:** 81752 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running the CLI starts default-enabled analytics. It derives a stable identifier from another AI tool's local auth/config metadata and sends it with product-usage metrics. - **Trigger:** User runs synaptic-code. - **Impact:** Discloses a linkable hashed account identifier plus project/thread counts to a third party. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs, dist/service-launcher.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T04:38:40.041Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Cross-tool identifier collection and outbound telemetry - **Rationale:** No install-time malware or token theft was found, but default telemetry reads identifiers from foreign AI-tool configuration and exports a stable derived identifier. This warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.synaptic/telemetry/anonymous-id - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/bin.mjs reads ~/.codex/auth.json tokens.account\_id and ~/.claude.json userID., It SHA-256 hashes that identifier and sends default-enabled telemetry to PostHog., Telemetry includes startup threadCount and projectCount. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The code extracts identifiers only; it does not send auth tokens., Service persistence is behind explicit synaptic-code service install/update commands. ## Public findings ### 1.
