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 performs undisclosed deployment telemetry to its own control-plane service, including project and worker identifiers, so warn about the data collection. The event is limited to a user-run successful unlinked deploy; the inspected credential requests target their respective services. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T15:52:53.955Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T15:54:24.181Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 4930 ms - **AI review time:** 84265 ms - **Total time:** 90226 ms 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 deployment event sends project and deployment identifiers plus the worker URL to the HS-X control plane. - **Trigger:** After a successful, non-dry-run Cloudflare deployment in unlinked mode, when a machine secret is available. - **Impact:** The service can associate deployment activity with a machine, project ID, and worker URL. No unrelated credential exfiltration was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/deploy.js, dist/config.js, dist/machine-id.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:54:24.181Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI POSTs deploy.succeeded to the configured control-plane URL, using the machine secret as a bearer token. The default host is api.hs-x.dev. - **Rationale:** The package performs undisclosed deployment telemetry to its own control-plane service, including project and worker identifiers, so warn about the data collection. The event is limited to a user-run successful unlinked deploy; the inspected credential requests target their respective services. - **Files touched:** ~/.local/state/hs-x/machine-id, ~/.local/state/hs-x/machine-secret - **Network endpoints:** api.hs-x.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** After a successful, non-dry-run unlinked Cloudflare deploy, the CLI sends an event when a machine secret exists., The event is sent to the configured control-plane URL and includes the project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL., The default control-plane host is api.hs-x.dev., Mutating deploys require confirmation or --yes before proceeding. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts; the package is a CLI with deploy commands., The event is tied to a user-run deploy and uses a locally generated machine secret, not an unrelated service credential., The Cloudflare API token request inspected targets Cloudflare's API. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hs-x/cli@0.4.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @hs-x/cli@0.4.8 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
