FRAGMENT CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends undisclosed runtime analytics on command startup, including shell and platform details, although it offers an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected code does not show credential or user-content exfiltration, so this is warning-level telemetry rather than malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Running a CLI command; telemetry is on unless disabled by environment variable.
Impact
Shares command usage and shell/platform details with the vendor's analytics service without a disclosed consent step.
Mechanism
Creates a PostHog client and captures command and platform metadata for transmission to PostHog.
AI rationale
The CLI sends undisclosed runtime analytics on command startup, including shell and platform details, although it offers an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected code does not show credential or user-content exfiltration, so this is warning-level telemetry rather than malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Every CLI command starts PostHog analytics by default unless DISABLE_CLI_ANALYTICS=true.
- The analytics event sends the command ID, architecture, platform, shell, and beta flag to the PostHog client.
- The bundled PostHog client defaults to https://us.i.posthog.com and posts captured events to its batch endpoint.
- The package exposes a CLI entry point and has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The flagged child process helper opens a supplied target for browser authentication.
Evidence against
- Analytics sends a fixed distinct ID and command metadata; the inspected event does not include credentials, prompts, file contents, or command arguments.
- The analytics code has an environment-variable opt-out.
- The child process is invoked to open a browser URL during the authentication flow, consistent with the CLI's purpose.
