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 postinstall hook is gated on recorded telemetry consent and reports limited adoption data to PostHog. The flagged process execution and network activity serve explicit CLI features; the reviewed sources show no malicious data flow or automatic unrelated execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T12:52:35.350Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T12:53:22.824Z - **Download time:** 1546 ms - **Static scan time:** 3804 ms - **AI review time:** 42124 ms - **Total time:** 47474 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:** No attack was identified. The install hook sends limited adoption telemetry only after positive prior consent; runtime telemetry is disclosed and user-controlled. - **Trigger:** Installation can trigger the postinstall hook, but it sends only when telemetry is already enabled in the user's Extenshi config. Product commands run when invoked. - **Impact:** No unconsented collection of credentials or project data, unrelated execution, or other attack behavior was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T12:53:22.824Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook posts an anonymous install event to PostHog. Other process and network activity supports the CLI's scanner, project setup, and publishing features. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook is gated on recorded telemetry consent and reports limited adoption data to PostHog. The flagged process execution and network activity serve explicit CLI features; the reviewed sources show no malicious data flow or automatic unrelated execution. - **Files touched:** ~/.extenshi/config.json, project files explicitly targeted by \`extenshi analytics init\` - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall telemetry ping exits unless the user has previously recorded telemetry consent., The install event contains package surface and version, Node version, platform, architecture, and an anonymous ID., The install ping is sent to the configured PostHog ingestion host; no host, username, path, or project data appears in its payload., CLI runtime telemetry is disclosed as asking a first-run question and can be disabled. - **Evidence against:** The package declares a postinstall hook that runs during installation., The CLI uses child processes for Git and for explicitly requested project setup or verification commands., The package performs network requests for its scanning, publishing, analytics, and account features. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @extenshi/cli@0.44.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @extenshi/cli@0.44.0 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.
