## 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:** 0.4.14
- **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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T15:53:12.021Z

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:** Unlinked deployments send persistent machine and deployment identifiers as runtime telemetry without the disclosure or opt-out behavior the CLI’s notice describes.

- **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.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:54:09.846Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hs-x.dev/v1/machines/{machineId}/events

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation
