## 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:** 0.4.12
- **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 package’s deployment flow sends identifying project and worker metadata to the vendor control plane as runtime telemetry, beyond the fields described by its telemetry notice. The event is tied to a user-confirmed deploy and uses an HS-X machine credential, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than credential exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%

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:** A successful unlinked Cloudflare deployment sends identifying deployment telemetry to the HS-X control plane.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a mutating deploy that successfully deploys a Cloudflare worker; plan and dry-run paths do not send this event.

- **Impact:** HS-X receives deployment and project metadata associated with the machine identity. No credential theft or unrelated-host transfer was identified.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:54:20.356Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI POSTs an event authenticated with its HS-X machine secret. The payload includes project and deploy identifiers, environment, and worker URL. The event-specific fields are not covered by the inspected CLI telemetry notice or its opt-out controls.

- **Rationale:** The package’s deployment flow sends identifying project and worker metadata to the vendor control plane as runtime telemetry, beyond the fields described by its telemetry notice. The event is tied to a user-confirmed deploy and uses an HS-X machine credential, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than credential exfiltration.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hs-x.dev/v1/machines/{machineId}/events (default control plane; configurable)

### 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, non-dry-run unlinked Cloudflare deployment, the CLI sends a deploy event., The event is POSTed to the configured HS-X control plane and authenticated with the machine secret., The event includes project and deploy identifiers, environment, and the deployed worker URL., The event uses an HS-X machine secret described as a local bearer capability.

- **Evidence against:** The event only runs after a user-triggered deployment succeeds; deploy mutations require consent or --yes., The machine secret is generated and stored locally for pre-link HS-X machine events; the inspected flow does not send a HubSpot or Cloudflare credential to a foreign host., The CLI discloses and provides opt-outs for its separate, basic command telemetry, but that notice does not describe the deploy event’s identifying fields.

## Affected versions and remediation
