## 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:** 0.4.11
- **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.

This version sends identifying deployment telemetry to the package's own control plane after an explicit deploy, but the event is not covered by the CLI telemetry disclosure or opt-out. The evidence supports a telemetry warning rather than credential theft or malicious behavior.

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 Cloudflare deploy sends identifying deployment telemetry to the HS-X control plane without a specific disclosure or opt-out for this event.

- **Trigger:** A successful unlinked Cloudflare deployment, when a machine secret is available.

- **Impact:** HS-X receives stable machine and project/deployment identifiers. This is undisclosed identifying telemetry, but the source does not show credentials being sent to an unrelated host.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/deploy.js, dist/config.js, dist/services/machine-id.js, dist/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:54:08.107Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI posts a deploy event authenticated with the machine secret. The request includes a machine ID and can include project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL. The destination defaults to api.hs-x.dev.

- **Rationale:** This version sends identifying deployment telemetry to the package's own control plane after an explicit deploy, but the event is not covered by the CLI telemetry disclosure or opt-out. The evidence supports a telemetry warning rather than credential theft or malicious behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hs-x.dev/v1/machines/{machineId}/events, https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{accountId}/workers/subdomain

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** After a successful unlinked Cloudflare deploy, the CLI sends a deploy event when a machine secret is available., The event uses a persistent machine ID and includes the project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL; the machine secret authenticates the request to the service., The event goes to the HS-X control plane, whose default host is api.hs-x.dev., The separate telemetry notice describes only command, exit code, duration, OS and architecture, says there is no stable identifier, and offers opt-outs; the deploy event does not use that telemetry gate., Deploys require user consent, and the Cloudflare API token lookup sends its token to the Cloudflare API host.

- **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle scripts are declared., The deploy event is sent only after a successful unlinked Cloudflare deployment, not on package install or import., The machine secret is sent to the HS-X control plane, while the Cloudflare token lookup targets Cloudflare's API.

## Affected versions and remediation
