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 active postinstall discloses persistent and Git identity data to a package-aligned telemetry endpoint unless users opt out. This is a concrete privacy risk, but the inspected source does not support a malicious verdict or publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T05:55:47.753Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T05:56:24.787Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 228 ms - **AI review time:** 36289 ms - **Total time:** 37034 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:** The postinstall hook sends installation telemetry that can include a persistent installation ID and Git identity to the package-aligned Hashbrown collector. The default disclosure is opt-out, creating a privacy risk, but inspected source does not establish malicious collection or credential theft. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with its postinstall hook enabled and without a telemetry opt-out. - **Impact:** The vendor’s collector can receive identifying user and repository information during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install/postinstall.cjs, install/collector.cjs, install/identity.cjs, install/git-context.cjs, install/policy.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T05:56:24.787Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The collector reads or creates a per-user installation ID, gathers Git name and email plus checkout context, adds package and environment details, and posts the event to the configured endpoint. - **Rationale:** The active postinstall discloses persistent and Git identity data to a package-aligned telemetry endpoint unless users opt out. This is a concrete privacy risk, but the inspected source does not support a malicious verdict or publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.hashbrown/installation-id - **Network endpoints:** https://hashbrown.dev/\_/growth/collect/v1/install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest runs a postinstall hook that invokes the install collector., The collector gathers a persistent per-user installation ID and Git display name/email, then includes available identity and consumer context in the installation event., The event is sent automatically to hashbrown.dev unless a telemetry opt-out is set; the endpoint policy accepts only loopback overrides., The endpoint matches the package’s Hashbrown project identity, and the inspected code establishes no credential theft or unrelated recipient. - **Evidence against:** The default telemetry destination is the package-aligned hashbrown.dev host, rather than an unrelated collector., Telemetry can be disabled with standard do-not-track variables or the package-specific opt-out. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hashbrownai/angular@0.8.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @hashbrownai/angular@0.8.1 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.
