Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 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:** 1.26.23-beta.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. This is a suspicious package because its root lifecycle scripts modify system paths and its feedback command sends identifying host and device details to a hard-coded webhook without clearly disclosing those fields. The available source does not show that this data is sent automatically during installation or import. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T13:13:52.825Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T13:14:47.043Z - **Download time:** 2288 ms - **Static scan time:** 70 ms - **AI review time:** 51860 ms - **Total time:** 54218 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 package has a root-only install hook that adds system bash completion, and its feedback path sends identifying device details to a hard-coded Discord webhook. - **Trigger:** Installation or removal as root triggers the completion/config file changes. Running the feedback command with a message triggers the outbound request. - **Impact:** The install hook creates system-wide completion and uninstall can delete /etc/treehouses.conf. Feedback shares identifying device details beyond the message with the developers' webhook without clearly disclosing those fields in the feedback prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.sh, modules/feedback.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T13:14:47.043Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle scripts modify paths under /etc. The feedback function fetches the public IP and posts it with the host name, device/version details, and submitted message to a Discord webhook whose URL is encoded in cli.sh. - **Rationale:** This is a suspicious package because its root lifecycle scripts modify system paths and its feedback command sends identifying host and device details to a hard-coded webhook without clearly disclosing those fields. The available source does not show that this data is sent automatically during installation or import. - **Files touched:** /etc/bash\_completion.d/\_treehouses, /etc/treehouses.conf - **Network endpoints:** ifconfig.io, discord.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** When installed as root, postinstall creates a system bash-completion symlink; postuninstall can also remove /etc/treehouses.conf., The feedback command sends the host name, public IP address, device and software details, and the submitted message to a hard-coded Discord webhook. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a Raspberry Pi configuration CLI, and its feedback feature is intended to share feedback with developers., The CLI exposes the feedback command for an explicit user request; no evidence found that the webhook is contacted automatically on import or install. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ohos-ports/treehouses-cli@1.26.23-beta.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ohos-ports/treehouses-cli@1.26.23-beta.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.
