## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 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:** 2.2.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **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 CLI sends its version and a startup reason to a Brevo endpoint by default when its cache expires, and I found no setting to disable this check. The request contains no credentials or user or project identifiers, so this warrants a telemetry warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan

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 startup version telemetry reports the CLI version and startup reason to a Brevo endpoint.

- **Trigger:** At CLI startup when the 15-minute version-info cache is stale.

- **Impact:** Brevo can observe the CLI version and approximate startup check activity. No account or project identifiers are sent in this request.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T18:33:12.175Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** A GET request to \`/cli/info\` includes \`cli\_version\` and \`reason=startup\`; the result is cached locally.

- **Rationale:** The CLI sends its version and a startup reason to a Brevo endpoint by default when its cache expires, and I found no setting to disable this check. The request contains no credentials or user or project identifiers, so this warrants a telemetry warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** ~/.brevo/cli-info-cache.json, BREVO\_CONFIG\_HOME/cli-info-cache.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://app-store-bo-be.brevo.com/cli/info

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI calls its version-info check during startup, before parsing the requested command., The check sends a GET request with only the CLI version and the reason \`startup\` as query parameters., The default endpoint is Brevo’s \`app-store-bo-be.brevo.com\` host at \`/cli/info\`., The response is cached for 15 minutes, so the network request occurs when the cache is stale., The manifest has \`prepare\` and \`prepublishOnly\` scripts, but no install or postinstall hook.

- **Evidence against:** The version check sends no credentials, user identity, project data, or command output., The check is a version and support-status lookup against a Brevo subdomain; the reported fields are limited to version and startup reason., OAuth and API credentials are used by the CLI’s Brevo login and API flows; no automatic forwarding to an unrelated host was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @getbrevo/cli@2.2.2.

- Review the evidence and your use of @getbrevo/cli@2.2.2 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.
