AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package discloses default telemetry and provides opt-out controls, but the runtime event includes an organization name and catalog ID despite being described as anonymous. This is suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration; the GitHub token warning does not show a token being sent through this reporting path.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the EventCatalog build or development command; server start also invokes the reporter.
Impact
The telemetry can reveal organization and catalog identity and provide a fingerprint of catalog content to an external analytics endpoint.
Mechanism
The reporter sends an event to Simple Analytics containing the configured organization name, catalog ID, content hash, and other catalog metadata. The content hash is computed from catalog resource paths and contents.
AI rationale
The package discloses default telemetry and provides opt-out controls, but the runtime event includes an organization name and catalog ID despite being described as anonymous. This is suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration; the GitHub token warning does not show a token being sent through this reporting path.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package documents telemetry as anonymous, on by default, and opt-out.
- The runtime telemetry event includes the configured organization name and catalog ID.
- The event also includes license/trial data, catalog feature and resource metadata, and a catalog content hash.
- The telemetry code hashes catalog resource file paths and contents before reporting the hash.
- The CLI calls the telemetry reporter during a build.
Evidence against
- package.json declares no lifecycle scripts, so this telemetry is not sent during installation.
- The reported event fields do not include the GitHub token; the token is used in a separate GitHub source-provider function.
- Cloud resource analytics requires explicit cloud.analytics configuration with enabled, trackingId, and writeKey.
