@hs-x/cli@0.4.13
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 flagged credential flow uses an HS-X machine secret generated locally and sends it with deployment metadata only after a user-authorized live deploy. The package has no install hook, and its runtime telemetry is limited, disclosed, and opt-outable.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the CLI; deployment events follow a successful live deploy, and telemetry follows command execution unless opted out.
Impact
No unauthorized credential collection or unrelated account action was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI sends a locally generated HS-X machine secret with deployment metadata to its control plane and reports limited command metadata as disclosed runtime telemetry.
AI rationale
The flagged credential flow uses an HS-X machine secret generated locally and sends it with deployment metadata only after a user-authorized live deploy. The package has no install hook, and its runtime telemetry is limited, disclosed, and opt-outable.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest defines CLI entry points and build scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- Deploy asks for mutation consent and requires explicit consent in non-interactive mode.
- The machine bearer secret is generated locally when no configured or saved secret exists.
- A deploy event is sent only after a successful live, non-dry-run deployment; it carries the HS-X machine secret and deployment metadata to the control plane.
- Runtime telemetry reports command and runtime metadata; the CLI discloses it and provides opt-out controls.
