## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install-time telemetry posts a generated UUID, event name, and OS label to Lightdash analytics.

- **Trigger:** npm preinstall/postinstall; explicit CLI commands

- **Impact:** No credential harvesting, payload execution, persistence, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, track.sh, dist/index.js, dist/handlers/installSkills.js, dist/config.js, dist/handlers/login/oauth.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T21:03:53.363Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** package-aligned telemetry and user-invoked CLI operations

- **Rationale:** The install hooks implement transparent anonymous telemetry rather than a malicious chain. Sensitive filesystem and agent-skill writes are confined to explicit user-invoked commands.

- **Files touched:** track.sh, ~/.config/lightdash/config.yaml, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.codex/skills

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.uuidgenerator.net/api/version4, https://analytics.lightdash.com/v1/track

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** Lifecycle hook only sends an anonymous install event and OS label., No credential, project-file, or agent-config access in track.sh., AI skill installation is an explicit install-skills command., Config writes are limited to ~/.config/lightdash with restrictive permissions., Browser shell execution only opens the OAuth URL.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lightdash/cli@1.171.0/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = bash track.sh completed || echo 'skipping postinstall'
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lightdash/cli@1.171.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.preinstall = bash track.sh started || echo 'skipping preinstall'
```

### 3. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lightdash/cli@1.171.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/dbt/schema.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lightdash/cli@1.171.0/dist/dbt/schema.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @lightdash/cli; repositoryIdentity = lightdash; dependency = @lightdash/common
L3: exports.searchForModel = void 0;
L4: const common_1 = require("@lightdash/common");
L5: const fs_1 = require("fs");
```

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```shell
path = [redacted].sh
kind = build_helper
sizeBytes = 708
magicHex = [redacted]
```

### 13. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 14. Medium: Secret Pattern
- **Category:** Secrets
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/dbt/targets/postgres.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lightdash/cli@1.171.0/dist/dbt/targets/postgres.js>)

Hardcoded password in dist/dbt/targets/postgres.js
