@hs-x/cli@0.4.14
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 deploy event is sent to the package’s own control plane after an explicit deployment, but it includes persistent and project-specific identifiers beyond the CLI’s stated telemetry fields. Because this event is not covered by the telemetry opt-out, classify it as suspicious telemetry.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A successful or partial unlinked Cloudflare deployment that makes a worker live.
Impact
The HS-X service can associate deployment details with a persistent machine identifier, contrary to the narrower telemetry disclosure.
Mechanism
Posts a deploy.succeeded event, including machine ID, project ID, deploy ID, environment and worker URL, to the HS-X control plane using the generated machine secret. This event path does not check the telemetry opt-out.
AI rationale
The deploy event is sent to the package’s own control plane after an explicit deployment, but it includes persistent and project-specific identifiers beyond the CLI’s stated telemetry fields. Because this event is not covered by the telemetry opt-out, classify it as suspicious telemetry.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- After an unlinked Cloudflare deploy succeeds, the command emits a deploy event by default.
- The event sends a stable machine ID, project ID, deploy ID, environment and worker URL to the HS-X control plane, authenticated with a machine secret.
- The telemetry notice describes only command, exit code, duration and OS/architecture, and claims there is no stable identifier; the deploy event has no visible opt-out check.
Evidence against
- The event is limited to a user-run deploy that actually makes a worker live; dry runs and linked deploys do not take this path.
- The bearer secret is generated for HS-X machine events and sent to the package’s configured control plane.
- Ordinary CLI telemetry has an opt-out, and the deploy event is best-effort with a short timeout.
