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 scanner flags are explained by CLI functions: app toolchain subprocesses, an explicit shell-based upgrade command, and a latest-version check. Telemetry is disabled by default, documents the failure text it records, and sends it to the Lotics API or a user-configured API endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T17:51:45.436Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T17:53:05.821Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 4251 ms - **AI review time:** 75373 ms - **Total time:** 80385 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 and shell behavior supports app toolchain tasks and an explicit upgrade command; telemetry is opt-in and documented. - **Trigger:** No malicious trigger identified. Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; the shell-based upgrade requires the user to invoke lotics upgrade. - **Impact:** No malicious impact identified; the observed behavior matches the CLI's stated purpose and telemetry disclosure. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T17:53:05.821Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No attack mechanism identified. Telemetry records disclosed command metadata and failure text, then posts it to the Lotics API or the API URL configured by the user. - **Rationale:** The scanner flags are explained by CLI functions: app toolchain subprocesses, an explicit shell-based upgrade command, and a latest-version check. Telemetry is disabled by default, documents the failure text it records, and sends it to the Lotics API or a user-configured API endpoint. - **Files touched:** ~/.lotics/session.json, ~/.lotics/telemetry-\.ndjson - **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai/v1/cli/telemetry, https://registry.npmjs.org/@lotics/cli/latest, LOTICS\_API\_URL (user-configured API base URL) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes dist/src/cli.js as the CLI and dist/src/client.js as the library entry; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., Telemetry is off by default and requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; its documented fields include command, exit code, duration, and the printed message on failure., The docs state that telemetry records argument hashes and shapes, not argument values, file contents, or record data., Telemetry is posted to the Lotics API endpoint, or to the API URL explicitly configured by the user., The update check fetches only the CLI's latest version from the npm registry; the shell-based upgrade runs through the explicit upgrade command. - **Evidence against:** The CLI captures up to 2,000 characters of stderr on failures, so the disclosed telemetry can include error text., The CLI uses child processes for app toolchain operations and the explicit upgrade command; these have package-related purposes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.28. - Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.28 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.
