@hs-x/cli@0.4.9
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 package’s deploy behavior appears purpose-related, and the inspected credential flows target their respective services. However, successful unlinked deploys automatically send identifying deployment metadata to the vendor’s control plane without an apparent opt-out, which warrants a telemetry warning.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A successful, non-dry-run unlinked Cloudflare deploy.
Impact
The HS-X control plane receives identifying deployment metadata without an apparent telemetry opt-out for this event.
Mechanism
The CLI POSTs a deploy success event using a locally generated machine secret as a bearer token. The payload can include project and deploy IDs and the deployed worker URL.
AI rationale
The package’s deploy behavior appears purpose-related, and the inspected credential flows target their respective services. However, successful unlinked deploys automatically send identifying deployment metadata to the vendor’s control plane without an apparent opt-out, which warrants a telemetry warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- After a successful unlinked Cloudflare deploy, the CLI calls an event sender with the machine secret and deployment details.
- The event includes the project ID, deploy ID, environment, and worker URL when available.
- The event is sent to the configured control plane; the default control-plane host is api.hs-x.dev.
- The machine secret is generated and stored locally by the package for machine event access.
- The inspected HubSpot credential check sends credentials to HubSpot’s own OAuth endpoint, and the Cloudflare token lookup uses Cloudflare’s API.
Evidence against
- The telemetry runs only after a successful, user-initiated unlinked deploy.
- The event uses the HS-X control plane and a locally generated machine secret; the inspected code does not show unrelated credentials being sent with it.
