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 17 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:** 2.4.16 - **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 runtime report is limited to a device UUID and package version and goes to configured service origins, so the source does not show exfiltration or a malicious attack. Because the stable identifier is not disclosed and reporting has no opt-out, this is suspicious runtime telemetry. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T21:15:04.466Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T21:15:51.020Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 646 ms - **AI review time:** 45133 ms - **Total time:** 46554 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:** Runtime telemetry reports a device UUID and package version to configured GlassNote server origins. - **Trigger:** App startup, followed by a report every six hours when at least one server is configured. - **Impact:** A configured server can track this device across reports and associate it with its package version. - **Evidence paths:** versionReport.js, main.js, INSTALACION.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T21:15:51.020Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** POSTs the UUID and version to \`/devices/report-version\`; the guide documents version reporting but not the UUID field, and the reporting code has no opt-out. - **Rationale:** The runtime report is limited to a device UUID and package version and goes to configured service origins, so the source does not show exfiltration or a malicious attack. Because the stable identifier is not disclosed and reporting has no opt-out, this is suspicious runtime telemetry. - **Network endpoints:** https://glassnoteapi.intermark.ec/devices/report-version, Configured server origins at \`/devices/report-version\` ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** At app startup, version reporting begins after 15 seconds and repeats every six hours., The report sends a stable device UUID and package version to each configured server’s \`/devices/report-version\` endpoint., The installation guide mentions version reporting but does not disclose the UUID field; no disable option appears in the reporting code. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install hook; its only lifecycle script is \`prepublishOnly\`., Reports go only to server origins already configured for the client, and the guide describes version reporting as an app feature., Pairing requires an explicitly supplied organization API key and organization ID. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @glassnote/client@2.4.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @glassnote/client@2.4.16 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.
