## 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:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.4.1
- **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 flagged credential flow is not theft of HubSpot or Cloudflare credentials: the request goes to HS-X and uses an HS-X machine secret. However, successful unlinked deployments automatically send project and worker identifiers as runtime telemetry, which is not clearly disclosed, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** An unlinked deploy automatically reports project and deployment metadata to the HS-X control plane.

- **Trigger:** A successful, explicitly requested unlinked Cloudflare deployment.

- **Impact:** The HS-X service receives identifying deployment metadata as undisclosed runtime telemetry.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/deploy.js, dist/machine-id.js, dist/commands/account.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:54:48.004Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Posts a deploy event using a locally generated machine bearer secret; the event includes project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL.

- **Rationale:** The flagged credential flow is not theft of HubSpot or Cloudflare credentials: the request goes to HS-X and uses an HS-X machine secret. However, successful unlinked deployments automatically send project and worker identifiers as runtime telemetry, which is not clearly disclosed, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

- **Files touched:** statePath('machine-id'), statePath('machine-secret')

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hs-x.dev/v1/machines/{machineId}/events

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are build and clean., The deploy command requests consent before making mutations., After an unlinked Cloudflare deployment succeeds, the command sends a deploy event to the HS-X control plane with project and deployment identifiers and the worker URL., The event uses a locally generated machine secret as a bearer token; the default control-plane host is api.hs-x.dev., The package describes unlinked deploys as using HubSpot and Cloudflare tokens, and says to log in only for dashboard, deploy history, or team features.

- **Evidence against:** The network request is tied to an explicit deploy command and successful deployment, not package installation or import., The machine secret is generated for HS-X machine events; no discovered HubSpot or Cloudflare credential is sent to an unrelated host., Deploy mutations require confirmation or an explicit --yes in non-interactive mode.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hs-x/cli@0.4.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @hs-x/cli@0.4.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
