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 reported credential flow targets the Lotics API configured for the client, and telemetry is gated behind an explicit opt-in with disclosed fields. The shell command is printed as an update instruction and targets the official Lotics installer host; no malicious behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T10:06:21.415Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T10:07:35.733Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 2504 ms - **AI review time:** 71293 ms - **Total time:** 74318 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. Network use is tied to the Lotics API and explicitly enabled telemetry; the flagged shell text is an installer command printed for a user to run. - **Trigger:** Normal CLI or SDK use; telemetry collection requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential forwarding, unrelated collection, or harmful automatic action was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T10:07:35.733Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK sends its configured key to its configured API URL. Opt-in telemetry posts CLI events to that same API URL. The update notice queries the npm registry, and the installer command points to Lotics’ official host. - **Rationale:** The reported credential flow targets the Lotics API configured for the client, and telemetry is gated behind an explicit opt-in with disclosed fields. The shell command is printed as an update instruction and targets the official Lotics installer host; no malicious behavior was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.lotics/config.json, ~/.lotics/session.json, ~/.lotics/telemetry-\.ndjson - **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai, LOTICS\_API\_URL (user-configured), https://registry.npmjs.org/@lotics/cli/latest, https://lotics.ai/install.sh, https://lotics.ai/install.ps1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a CLI and an SDK client entry point., The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., The SDK sends its API key in an Authorization header; the CLI uses https://api.lotics.ai by default or the user-configured LOTICS\_API\_URL., Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; its disclosed records contain command outcomes and failure messages, while tool arguments contribute a hash and shape. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.41. - Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.41 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.
