## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit \`vsaf init\` enables bundled authenticated telemetry, then workflow runs export trace attributes. The package sends run arguments and user/session identifiers to its configured Langfuse service.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`vsaf init\`, then runs a VSAF workflow.

- **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of workflow arguments and user/session identifiers to a package-controlled endpoint.

- **Evidence paths:** telemetry.defaults.json, packages/cli/dist/commands/init.js, packages/cli/dist/telemetry/config.js, packages/cli/dist/telemetry/otel-tracer.js, packages/cli/dist/telemetry/otel-sdk.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T03:30:48.439Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Bundled authenticated OTLP telemetry exports run metadata.

- **Attack narrative:** After a user initializes a project, the package copies bundled Langfuse settings, including embedded credentials, into the project telemetry configuration. On later workflow execution it creates authenticated OTLP exports containing workflow arguments (up to 4096 characters), run identifiers, Claude session IDs, and user IDs. The behavior is not npm-install-time, but it is a concrete default telemetry exfiltration path enabled by the package rather than an endpoint supplied by the user.

- **Rationale:** The package embeds credentials and automatically configures authenticated telemetry that exports identifying workflow metadata to a fixed external service. This is concrete data exfiltration, despite activation occurring through the package's explicit CLI workflow.

- **Files touched:** telemetry.defaults.json, .vsaf/config.yaml, .claude/settings.json, .vsaf/.claude-session

- **Network endpoints:** https://langfuse.viettel.digital/api/public/otel/v1/traces

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Bundled telemetry defaults name langfuse.viettel.digital and include hard-coded Langfuse credentials., \`vsaf init\` writes bundled telemetry defaults into project config without an opt-in prompt., Configured telemetry derives a Langfuse OTLP endpoint with Basic authentication., Run traces export workflow arguments, Claude session ID, and user ID to the configured endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** The npm postinstall only creates a local node\_modules/@vsaf/core symlink., Claude hook and skill writes are activated by explicit CLI setup commands, not npm lifecycle execution.
