The invoked server also has intentionally broad local automation capabilities. - **Trigger:** User runs synaptic-code, especially its server mode. - **Impact:** Third-party telemetry receives a persistent derived identity, platform data, version, and recorded event properties. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs, dist/service-launcher.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T02:13:44.196Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** default outbound telemetry using hashed AI-tool account identifiers - **Rationale:** The scanner's alleged command-output exfiltration was not confirmed: command runners serve explicit CLI/server functions and no stdout-to-external-endpoint chain was found. Default collection of derived identifiers from foreign AI-tool configuration warrants a warning, not a malicious block. - **Files touched:** dist/bin.mjs, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.synaptic/telemetry/anonymous-id, dist/service-launcher.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/bin.mjs reads ~/.codex/auth.json account\_id or ~/.claude.json userID for telemetry., Telemetry is enabled by default and POSTs a SHA-256-derived identifier plus events to PostHog., CLI exposes user-invoked terminal, project-write, Git, provider, and self-update capabilities. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., PostHog payload code sends event properties and a hashed identifier, not command stdout or raw auth files., Child processes are tied to explicit CLI/server actions, including service restart, Git, Tailscale, and provider commands. ## Public findings ### 1.
