Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.8.0 - **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 postinstall telemetry automatically sends installation context and may include identifying Git details, so it presents a privacy risk. Its default endpoint is package-aligned and the source shows no separate concrete attack, supporting a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T04:28:26.247Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T04:30:55.816Z - **Download time:** 1285 ms - **Static scan time:** 128 ms - **AI review time:** 148156 ms - **Total time:** 149569 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:** Automatic installation telemetry can disclose identifying Git details and installation context to the package publisher. The inspected source does not establish an unrelated recipient or another concrete attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Installation and potentially personal Git details are reported to the publisher without an affirmative opt-in in the inspected path. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install/postinstall.cjs, install/collector.cjs, install/policy.cjs, install/git-context.cjs, install/identity.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T04:30:55.816Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The collector gathers an installation event and sends it to the default Hashbrown endpoint; Git identity can be added outside CI, unless telemetry is disabled. - **Rationale:** The postinstall telemetry automatically sends installation context and may include identifying Git details, so it presents a privacy risk. Its default endpoint is package-aligned and the source shows no separate concrete attack, supporting a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** .hashbrown/installation-id - **Network endpoints:** https://hashbrown.dev/\_/growth/collect/v1/install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package manifest runs a postinstall hook, which activates the collector during installation., The collector gathers installation and consumer context, and can include Git display name and email outside CI., The collector sends the event to a fixed Hashbrown endpoint by default; only loopback endpoint overrides are accepted., The package exports an Ollama text streaming adapter as its runtime API. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry is sent to the package publisher's Hashbrown endpoint, and users can disable collection with recognized opt-out variables., The collector is bounded by short timeouts and failures do not fail installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hashbrownai/ollama@0.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @hashbrownai/ollama@0.8.0 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.
