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 has automatic, persistent, opt-out telemetry and a background network sender, which is a real privacy risk. Its network payload is statically limited and agent integration is user-invoked, so the source does not establish malicious theft or unconsented agent-control mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T12:23:45.808Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T12:26:05.781Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 1389 ms - **AI review time:** 138075 ms - **Total time:** 139973 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:** Installing the package silently records telemetry, stores a random installation identifier, and launches a detached sender. The user-invoked init command can also configure supported coding agents. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later telemetry flushes; explicit graft init - **Impact:** The vendor receives install and limited usage metadata linked to a random local identifier. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/telemetry/identity.js, dist/telemetry/track.js, dist/telemetry/send.js, dist/telemetry/key.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T12:26:05.781Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent telemetry queue with background HTTP posting - **Rationale:** The package has automatic, persistent, opt-out telemetry and a background network sender, which is a real privacy risk. Its network payload is statically limited and agent integration is user-invoked, so the source does not establish malicious theft or unconsented agent-control mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.graft/telemetry.json, ~/.graft/telemetry-queue.ndjson, dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://events.nanonets.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically records an install event and starts a detached telemetry process., Telemetry creates a persistent random install identifier in the user's home directory., Queued telemetry is posted to the vendor endpoint., The published artifact contains an active telemetry key and defaults telemetry on unless an opt-out gate is set., The explicit init command can register agent configuration and hooks. - **Evidence against:** Telemetry properties are constrained to a fixed allowlist and do not include source files, environment values, or credentials., The code honors DO\_NOT\_TRACK and CI, and provides a disable mechanism., Agent configuration writes are reached through the user-invoked init command, with dry-run and no-global options., No self-dependency, payload download, shell execution, credential harvesting, or destructive behavior was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nanonets/graft@0.18.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @nanonets/graft@0.18.0 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.
