## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The user-invoked CLI provides an AI coding server, optional background service, and product telemetry.

- **Trigger:** Running synaptic-code; service persistence requires an explicit command or confirmation.

- **Impact:** User-approved service persistence and analytics; no install-time execution or command-output exfiltration found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T02:13:33.210Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** CLI server, explicit systemd service setup, and hashed-identifier telemetry.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's command-output exfiltration claim is unsupported: subprocess output is consumed for local CLI operations, while telemetry sends bounded product events. Persistence is an explicit, disclosed CLI feature rather than an install-time action.

- **Files touched:** dist/bin.mjs, dist/service-launcher.mjs

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** dist/bin.mjs sends default-enabled PostHog telemetry., It hashes only Codex account\_id or Claude userID before telemetry., Explicit service install writes a user systemd unit.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks., CLI runs only via the synaptic-code bin entrypoint., Service persistence is behind explicit service commands or an interactive prompt., No source path sends subprocess stdout/stderr to a network endpoint.
