Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 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:** 1.1.4 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 CLI findings do not establish malicious command-output exfiltration: build errors are handled locally, and deployment is an explicit command. The default, undocumented canvas fingerprinting is a runtime telemetry concern, so this version should receive a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T15:42:18.914Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T15:44:23.024Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 3311 ms - **AI review time:** 120292 ms - **Total time:** 124110 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:** Default browser analytics include canvas-based fingerprinting that the package documentation does not disclose. - **Trigger:** Importing the browser entry constructs the default client, which starts analytics automatically. - **Impact:** This enables persistent device identification for analytics without clear documentation of the fingerprinting behavior. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T15:44:23.024Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** With fingerprinting enabled by default, analytics events may include a canvas fingerprint and device attributes, along with visitor identifiers and page URLs; events go to the configured analytics endpoint. - **Rationale:** The CLI findings do not establish malicious command-output exfiltration: build errors are handled locally, and deployment is an explicit command. The default, undocumented canvas fingerprinting is a runtime telemetry concern, so this version should receive a warning. - **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs, README.md, package.json, dist/cli.cjs - **Network endpoints:** sentry.gnapex.com, api.gnapex.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The browser client defaults both analytics and fingerprinting to enabled., Analytics event context conditionally includes a canvas fingerprint and device entropy., The browser client starts analytics automatically when constructed with tracking enabled; the package exports a module-level client., The README documents automatic page, click, error, and session tracking, but does not mention canvas fingerprinting., Events are posted to the configured analytics URL with the project key; the source shows no unrelated collector., The only declared lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs a build. - **Evidence against:** Automatic analytics are part of the package’s stated SDK behavior, including page views and visitor identity., The README says automatic form tracking does not collect field values., The CLI deploy action is a separately invoked command, rather than an install-time action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nexushub/client@1.1.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @nexushub/client@1.1.4 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.
