Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 5.8.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The GitHub token flow is consistent with authenticated access to configured GitHub sources, but separate runtime telemetry sends identifying catalog metadata to an analytics endpoint by default. This is suspicious telemetry, not evidence of credential theft. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T14:00:14.994Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T14:01:31.368Z - **Download time:** 1525 ms - **Static scan time:** 2437 ms - **AI review time:** 72411 ms - **Total time:** 76374 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:** Default runtime telemetry sends identifying catalog and organization metadata to an analytics endpoint. - **Trigger:** Running a build, development server, or server startup. - **Impact:** An external analytics service receives organization and catalog identifiers and catalog-derived operational metadata without an explicit opt-in. - **Evidence paths:** dist/eventcatalog.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T14:01:31.368Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package posts command and catalog metadata to Simple Analytics unless telemetry is disabled; separately configured cloud analytics can send resource counts to its configured endpoint. - **Rationale:** The GitHub token flow is consistent with authenticated access to configured GitHub sources, but separate runtime telemetry sends identifying catalog metadata to an analytics endpoint by default. This is suspicious telemetry, not evidence of credential theft. - **Network endpoints:** https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/events, https://api.ecingest.dev/v1/analytics/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime telemetry posts to queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com and runs unless telemetry is disabled by configuration or environment variables., The telemetry payload includes organization and catalog IDs, license-related details, a content hash, resource counts, directory sources, and feature information., The CLI calls the telemetry routine during builds; related calls also run during development and server startup. - **Evidence against:** GitHub tokens are used for authenticated requests in the GitHub federation provider, consistent with fetching configured GitHub sources., Separate cloud resource analytics requires an enabled configuration with a tracking ID and write key. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @eventcatalog/core@5.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @eventcatalog/core@5.8.0 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.
