AI Security Review
scanned 8h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential and network behavior is consistent with the Lotics client and an optional, documented telemetry feature. The CLI’s update check retrieves npm metadata; the package declares no registry-install lifecycle hook.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
API traffic occurs when a client or CLI command makes a request; telemetry runs only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; the version lookup runs during CLI startup.
Impact
No credential diversion, unrelated data collection, or automatic code execution was identified.
Mechanism
API keys go to the configured Lotics API. The version check fetches package metadata from npm. Optional telemetry records command metadata and failure text and sends it to the selected Lotics API.
AI rationale
The flagged credential and network behavior is consistent with the Lotics client and an optional, documented telemetry feature. The CLI’s update check retrieves npm metadata; the package declares no registry-install lifecycle hook.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.
- The client uses the configured API base URL and sends its key as a bearer token in API requests.
- Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; the README documents its fields and that failure messages are included.
- The automatic version lookup requests package metadata from registry.npmjs.org.
Evidence against
- When telemetry is enabled, failed commands include their printed error message; the README discloses this behavior.
