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 source enables Huawei analytics by default and sends runtime app and device metadata during Awareness API use. The package does not document this telemetry, so this is suspicious rather than a confirmed malicious data theft; no analytics host is hard-coded in the reviewed source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T19:04:05.613Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T19:04:57.058Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 101 ms - **AI review time:** 50564 ms - **Total time:** 51445 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 telemetry is sent through Huawei analytics when Awareness APIs are used. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes an Awareness capture or barrier API; logger initialization enables telemetry by default. - **Impact:** Huawei analytics receives app and device metadata. The reviewed event maps do not include captured location or other Awareness results. - **Evidence paths:** android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/logger/HMSLogger.java, android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/wrapper/AwarenessCaptureWrapper.java, android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/modules/HMSLoggerModule.java - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T19:04:57.058Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The native logger sends Huawei analytics events containing app identifiers and versions, API name, result, timing, device model and network type. - **Rationale:** The source enables Huawei analytics by default and sends runtime app and device metadata during Awareness API use. The package does not document this telemetry, so this is suspicious rather than a confirmed malicious data theft; no analytics host is hard-coded in the reviewed source. - **Files touched:** android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/logger/HMSLogger.java, android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/wrapper/AwarenessCaptureWrapper.java, android/src/main/java/com/huawei/hms/rn/awareness/modules/HMSLoggerModule.java ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The logger initializes Huawei analytics and enables logging by default when first created., Calling an Awareness capture method starts logging and sends an event after the API succeeds., The event maps include app ID, app package and version, API name, result, call time, device model and network type., The package exposes a method to disable logging, but the README does not document the telemetry. - **Evidence against:** The package has no lifecycle scripts, and its JavaScript entry point only exports native modules., Telemetry is tied to calls to Awareness APIs; the logger code does not include location or other capture results in its event maps., The package provides an explicit disableLogger method. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmscore/react-native-hms-awareness@3.8.0-303. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmscore/react-native-hms-awareness@3.8.0-303 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.
