## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected package source. The reported network activity is usage analytics and GitHub source retrieval.

- **Trigger:** A user runs EventCatalog commands that report usage or configures cloud analytics; GitHub retrieval occurs when the source provider is used.

- **Impact:** Analytics reports usage and project metadata. The inspected transfer paths do not disclose environment variables or credentials to an unrelated recipient.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T13:36:46.233Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Analytics sends command and catalog metadata to its collectors. Cloud inventory reporting is gated by an enabled analytics configuration with a tracking ID and write key. GitHub credentials are sent with requests to GitHub.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection resolves the scanner's credential and dynamic-code hints to package-aligned analytics, GitHub source retrieval, and ordinary product code. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected telemetry does not send credentials or arbitrary environment contents.

- **Network endpoints:** https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/events, https://api.ecingest.dev/v1/analytics/ingest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a CLI and ordinary scripts, with no npm install lifecycle hook; the bin wrapper imports the CLI., Runtime telemetry reports EventCatalog usage metadata. It has environment and config opt-outs, and cloud inventory reporting requires enabled analytics, a tracking ID, and a write key., The GitHub token is used for GitHub API requests by the GitHub source provider; the inspected code does not send it to the analytics endpoints., Flagged source paths implement UI rendering, MCP request routes, SQLite storage, and resource counting; the three inspected dependency entrypoints and manifests show no install hooks.

- **Evidence against:** Build telemetry includes organization and catalog identifiers, CI status, and a catalog content hash. The inspected code sends these as EventCatalog analytics rather than as credentials.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @eventcatalog/core@5.5.2.

- Review the evidence and your use of @eventcatalog/core@5.5.2 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.

L140: return nativeImport(url);
```

### 3. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/migrations/message-channels-to-service-channels.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.5.2/dist/migrations/message-channels-to-service-channels.cjs>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L35: module.exports = __toCommonJS(message_channels_to_service_channels_exports);
L36: var import_node_fs = __toESM(require("fs"), 1);
L37: var import_glob = require("glob");
```

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source

### 7. Critical: Credential Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/eventcatalog.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.5.2/dist/eventcatalog.cjs>)

Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L30: var import_commander = require("commander");
L31: var import_node_child_process2 = require("child_process");
L32: var import_node_path22 = require("path");
L33: var import_node_http = __toESM(require("http"), 1);
L34: var import_fs = __toESM(require("fs"), 1);
...
L80: }`;
L81: (0, import_node_module.register)(`data:text/javascript,${encodeURIComponent(hook)}`);
L82: };
...
L84: try {
L85: const packageJson = JSON.parse(await (0, import_promises.readFile)(import_node_path.default.join(projectDirectory, "package.json"), "utf-8"));
L86: return packageJson?.type === "commonjs";
...
L290: }
```

### 8. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/chunk-YRZK7HKX.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.5.2/dist/chunk-YRZK7HKX.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @eventcatalog/core; repositoryIdentity = eventcatalog; dependency = @eventcatalog/fitness
L32: try {
L33: const { discoverFitnessFiles } = await import("@eventcatalog/fitness");
L34: return discoverFitnessFiles(projectDir).files.length;
```

### 10. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 12. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** eventcatalog/src/components/SchemaExplorer/ExamplesViewer.tsx\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.5.2/eventcatalog/src/components/SchemaExplorer/ExamplesViewer.tsx%23virtual%3Anormalized%3Around1>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 3
```

### 13. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/eventcatalog.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.5.2/dist/eventcatalog.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @eventcatalog/core@5.5.1
matchedIdentity = npm:QGV2ZW50Y2F0YWxvZy9jb3Jl:5.5.1
similarity = 0.983
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
