## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. The CLI includes product analytics and configurable cloud inventory reporting.

- **Trigger:** An EventCatalog CLI command runs; cloud inventory reporting additionally requires analytics configuration to be enabled with a tracking ID and write key.

- **Impact:** The inspected transfers do not include credentials or establish an attack surface.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T11:40:37.885Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI sends usage metadata and catalog resource counts to analytics endpoints. Telemetry can be disabled through configuration or environment variables.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found package-aligned analytics with opt-out controls and cloud inventory reporting gated by explicit configuration. The scanner’s credential and dynamic execution indicators did not establish an attack in the inspected code.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies the package and its EventCatalog repository; the CLI entry points to dist/eventcatalog.js., The CLI has no install lifecycle hook in its scripts, and runtime preparation handles the EventCatalog project directory., The flagged source files show UI, storage, and MCP imports; the resource counting chunk scans catalog content., The analytics code sends EventCatalog usage metadata and allows telemetry opt-out through configuration or environment variables., Cloud inventory reporting requires configured analytics to be enabled with a tracking ID and write key.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI sends usage and catalog inventory data to analytics endpoints during a command; the source provides opt-out controls and no inspected code sends credentials to those endpoints.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @eventcatalog/core@5.6.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @eventcatalog/core@5.6.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.6.0/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

- **Path:** dist/eventcatalog.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@5.6.0/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@5.6.0/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;
```

- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 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@5.6.0/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@5.6.0/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@5.5.2
matchedIdentity = npm:QGV2ZW50Y2F0YWxvZy9jb3Jl:5.5.2
similarity = 0.933
