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. Source inspection confirms automatic diagnostic reporting that can disclose identifying account and configuration details, while the default recipient and error-focused trigger are consistent with package operations. Treat this as unresolved telemetry privacy risk and warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T18:25:30.409Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T18:26:57.003Z - **Download time:** 1793 ms - **Static scan time:** 815 ms - **AI review time:** 83986 ms - **Total time:** 86594 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:** The CLI automatically sends operational health reports when it has pending installation, core, or session-start errors. Reports may include account and local configuration diagnostics. - **Trigger:** Starting the CLI with a pending report, or encountering a session start error. - **Impact:** Account and machine diagnostics, including email and configured tool server details, may be disclosed to the report recipient without an explicit per-report consent step. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T18:26:57.003Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI gathers error details and diagnostic results, adds platform and installation identifiers, and posts them to the configured Hum service endpoint with the saved access token when available. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms automatic diagnostic reporting that can disclose identifying account and configuration details, while the default recipient and error-focused trigger are consistent with package operations. Treat this as unresolved telemetry privacy risk and warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://hum.metaphi.ai/health ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI queues health reports for failed installs, core failures, and session start errors., The report destination defaults to Hum’s service, can be overridden by configuration, and uses the saved access token when present., The CLI sends version, platform, operating system, install identifier, error details, and diagnostic results in a health request., The diagnostic results can include the account email and configured tool server names and addresses., The CLI calls the report routine during startup and after session errors. - **Evidence against:** The reporting is tied to pending operational failures and startup errors; the default destination is the package’s Hum service., The inspected report fields are operational diagnostics; no prompt or conversation content was observed in the submitted report structure. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @metaphi-ai/hum@0.2.63. - Review the evidence and your use of @metaphi-ai/hum@0.2.63 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.
