React Native HMS ML Kit
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically sends app, device, network, and ML API usage metadata through Huawei analytics at runtime, and the README does not disclose this behavior. Because users can disable it but it is enabled by default, classify it as suspicious telemetry.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The logger is created when a native ML module requests it; subsequent ML API events are sent automatically.
Impact
Huawei analytics receives runtime app and device metadata and ML API usage without an apparent opt-in; users can disable logging through the exposed API.
Mechanism
HMSLogger initializes Huawei analytics, enables itself by default, and submits single and periodic event maps containing app identifiers, device details, operation names, results, timing, and network type.
AI rationale
The package automatically sends app, device, network, and ML API usage metadata through Huawei analytics at runtime, and the README does not disclose this behavior. Because users can disable it but it is enabled by default, classify it as suspicious telemetry.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The logger initializes Huawei analytics and enables logging when its singleton is first created.
- When enabled, it sends single and periodic operation events through Huawei's analytics SDK.
- Event data includes the app ID, package name, app version, device model, API name, result, timing, and network type.
- The package exposes a method to disable logging, but the logger enables itself by default and the README does not disclose this telemetry.
Evidence against
- The package is a React Native wrapper for Huawei ML Kit, and the events concern its API operations.
- The app can explicitly disable the logger after it is initialized.
