## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 10 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 3.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package implements runtime Mixpanel telemetry that can report wallet identifiers, account activity, and transaction details without a disclosure found in the package. This warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry; the behavior is not install-time or import-time.

## Latest scan

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:** Undisclosed runtime usage telemetry is sent to Marinade's Mixpanel proxy when enabled by the CLI caller.

- **Trigger:** A CLI command's pre-action hook runs while cliUsageConfig.enabled is true and telemetry is not disabled.

- **Impact:** The vendor receives identifiable wallet and account activity and command usage data without a disclosure found in this package.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/src/cliUsage.js, dist/src/commands/mainCommand.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T14:22:01.768Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI collects wallet and account identifiers, command metadata, and completion details such as transaction signatures, then posts events to the configured Mixpanel proxy. Telemetry can be disabled with DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1.

- **Rationale:** The package implements runtime Mixpanel telemetry that can report wallet identifiers, account activity, and transaction details without a disclosure found in the package. This warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry; the behavior is not install-time or import-time.

- **Files touched:** dist/src/cliUsage.js, dist/src/commands/mainCommand.js, ~/.config/validator-bonds/install-id

- **Network endpoints:** https://mix-proxy.marinade.finance/track

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** When CLI usage is enabled, the pre-action hook records command data and wallet/account identifiers., Telemetry properties include the wallet public key or install ID, session and command details, and platform/runtime information., Command-completion events can include transaction signatures, amounts, and account addresses, and are posted to the Mixpanel proxy., A built-in Mixpanel token and default proxy enable reporting unless telemetry is disabled.

- **Evidence against:** The package declares no install or lifecycle scripts; its npm scripts are build and test tasks., Telemetry runs through the CLI action hook rather than during module import., The install ID is a random UUID stored under the user's config directory.
