Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The suspicious scanner leads resolve to ordinary CLI behavior: an explicit update path, Lotics API requests, and opt-in disclosed telemetry. I found no automatic credential redirection or host-identity exfiltration in the inspected entry points. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T05:32:04.773Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T05:32:53.124Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 4375 ms - **AI review time:** 43455 ms - **Total time:** 48351 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:** No attack was identified. The flagged process execution belongs to the explicit update flow, and telemetry is opt-in and disclosed. - **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs CLI commands; telemetry is recorded only when LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1 is set. - **Impact:** No evidence of credential redirection, host fingerprint exfiltration, or automatic command-output exfiltration was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T05:32:53.124Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends API requests to the configured Lotics service. Opt-in telemetry queues command metadata and failure messages for that same service. API-key setup sends a user-provided key to the selected API URL for verification. - **Rationale:** The suspicious scanner leads resolve to ordinary CLI behavior: an explicit update path, Lotics API requests, and opt-in disclosed telemetry. I found no automatic credential redirection or host-identity exfiltration in the inspected entry points. - **Files touched:** ~/.lotics/session.json, ~/.lotics/telemetry-\.ndjson, ~/.lotics/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai, https://registry.npmjs.org/@lotics/cli/latest, https://lotics.ai/install.sh, https://lotics.ai/install.ps1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and library entry point, with \`prepublishOnly\` running a build and no install-time script., Runtime telemetry is disabled unless \`LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1\` is set., Telemetry records command metadata and argument shape/hash rather than argument values; its documented behavior includes a failure message., The CLI sends requests to the Lotics API by default, or to the API URL the user configures., API-key setup prompts for a key and uses it with the selected API URL. - **Evidence against:** The CLI includes a command string that pipes the official Lotics installer into a shell; it is part of the update flow, not an install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.23. - Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.23 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.
