Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The CLI's runtime telemetry reads an account identifier from AI-tool config and transmits only its SHA-256-derived identifier plus telemetry metadata. No install-time execution or confirmed credential/archive exfiltration is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T20:38:16.263Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T20:40:17.907Z - **Download time:** 2297 ms - **Static scan time:** 37467 ms - **AI review time:** 81879 ms - **Total time:** 121644 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The CLI's runtime telemetry reads an account identifier from AI-tool config and transmits only its SHA-256-derived identifier plus telemetry metadata. No install-time execution or confirmed credential/archive exfiltration is present. - **Trigger:** Running the Synaptic Code CLI/server with telemetry enabled. - **Impact:** Privacy telemetry exposure; no secret-token transmission confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T20:40:17.907Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** hashed telemetry identifier collection and PostHog event upload - **Rationale:** The scanner's claimed sensitive archive/registry exfiltration chain is not supported by source inspection. The package has a legitimate but privacy-sensitive telemetry path; it hashes an account ID rather than exporting credentials. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.synaptic/telemetry/anonymous-id - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Runtime telemetry reads Codex account\_id from ~/.codex/auth.json, then hashes it., Telemetry is enabled by default and sends the hashed identifier with basic platform/version metadata to PostHog. - **Evidence against:** package.json exposes only a CLI bin and contains no lifecycle scripts., No source evidence of credential/token extraction, archiving, registry publishing, or covert payload execution was found., The npm-registry request only checks a package's latest version. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dmccore/code@0.0.33-synaptic.15. - Review the evidence and your use of @dmccore/code@0.0.33-synaptic.15 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
