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 flagged credential flow sends the key to the configured Lotics API, while telemetry is disclosed and opt-in. The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected shell-related behavior only prints an update command for the user to run. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T04:24:05.584Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T04:25:42.300Z - **Download time:** 2549 ms - **Static scan time:** 2497 ms - **AI review time:** 91669 ms - **Total time:** 96716 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 identified; the inspected network and credential flows serve the CLI's Lotics API features and disclosed, opt-in telemetry. - **Trigger:** Normal CLI API calls; telemetry is recorded and sent only when LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1 is set. - **Impact:** Expected service requests and diagnostics; no unrelated credential collection or hidden command execution was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T04:25:42.300Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client sends its API key to the configured API instance. Opt-in telemetry batches diagnostic events to that instance, and the CLI checks npm for version metadata. - **Rationale:** The flagged credential flow sends the key to the configured Lotics API, while telemetry is disclosed and opt-in. The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected shell-related behavior only prints an update command for the user to run. - **Files touched:** ~/.lotics/session.json, ~/.lotics/telemetry-\.ndjson - **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai, ${LOTICS\_API\_URL}/v1/cli/telemetry, https://registry.npmjs.org/@lotics/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and SDK client; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., The client sends its configured API key as a bearer token with requests to its configured API instance., Telemetry is collected only when LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1 is set., The README discloses the telemetry fields, including command, exit code, duration, failure message, argument hash and shape; it says telemetry is off by default., Telemetry posts to the configured API instance's /v1/cli/telemetry endpoint; the default instance is api.lotics.ai. - **Evidence against:** The CLI checks the npm registry for the latest package version and prints an update command; the inspected code does not execute that printed installer command., The flagged child-process usage is in CLI build and packaging paths, not an automatic install or import-time execution path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.39. - Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.39 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.
