@hs-x/cli@0.4.10
HS-X CLI — init, validate, connect, dev, deploy, promote, rollback, doctor, sync. Installs the `hs-x` command.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically sends project and deployment identifiers plus a worker URL to its own control plane after an unlinked deploy. This is identifying runtime telemetry beyond the separately disclosed, opt-out-capable usage telemetry, so the finding warrants a warning.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A non-dry-run Cloudflare deploy succeeds while the CLI is unlinked.
Impact
HS-X can associate deployment activity and a worker endpoint with the machine and project; this exceeds the package's separately disclosed anonymous usage telemetry.
Mechanism
The CLI posts a deploy event authenticated by its machine secret, including project and deployment identifiers and the worker URL.
AI rationale
The package automatically sends project and deployment identifiers plus a worker URL to its own control plane after an unlinked deploy. This is identifying runtime telemetry beyond the separately disclosed, opt-out-capable usage telemetry, so the finding warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- After a successful non-linked Cloudflare deploy, the CLI emits a deploy event; dry runs are excluded.
- The event goes to the resolved HS-X control plane and authenticates with a machine secret.
- The event includes project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL.
- The default control-plane host is api.hs-x.dev.
- The package's separate CLI usage telemetry describes limited fields and offers opt-outs; the deploy-event caller has no corresponding opt-out check.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the CLI runs through an explicitly invoked command.
- The machine secret is generated or read as a local capability for HS-X machine events.
- Cloudflare credentials are sent to Cloudflare's API for deployment-related operations.
