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:** 2.4.21 - **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 periodic UUID and version report is a plausible version-management feature, but it runs by default without a user-facing disclosure or opt-out in the inspected sources. This is a telemetry concern, not evidence of credential exfiltration or malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T21:15:52.508Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T21:17:08.996Z - **Download time:** 1807 ms - **Static scan time:** 552 ms - **AI review time:** 74128 ms - **Total time:** 76488 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:** Undisclosed runtime version reporting creates a telemetry concern; no credential theft or other attack was identified. - **Trigger:** The desktop client starts, then reports after a delay and periodically while running. - **Impact:** Those servers can associate the device UUID with the client version; the report has no user-facing disclosure or opt-out in the inspected sources. - **Evidence paths:** main.js, versionReport.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T21:17:08.996Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** versionReport.js posts a device UUID and client version to origins derived from saved server settings. - **Rationale:** The periodic UUID and version report is a plausible version-management feature, but it runs by default without a user-facing disclosure or opt-out in the inspected sources. This is a telemetry concern, not evidence of credential exfiltration or malware. - **Network endpoints:** Configured saved-server origins at /devices/report-version, glassnoteapi.intermark.ec ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package is a desktop notes client; its manifest points to main.js and the glassnote CLI., On persistent startup, main.js configures auto-start; ephemeral npx runs skip it., At runtime, versionReport.js posts a device UUID and client version to origins read from saved server settings, then uses the response to manage the desired version., No user-facing disclosure or opt-out for this periodic version report was found in the inspected documentation or source. - **Evidence against:** The report supports the app’s version-management function and sends only a UUID and version, not credentials or file contents., Pairing requires an API key supplied through an option or environment setting, and enrollment uses a configurable API URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @glassnote/client@2.4.21. - Review the evidence and your use of @glassnote/client@2.4.21 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.
