## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 7 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:** 0.6.1
- **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 SDK sends runtime analytics automatically and offers environment labels, but no opt-out was found. The documented analytics purpose and limited event metadata make this a warning-level telemetry concern, not malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Automatic runtime analytics send onboarding event metadata without a documented opt-out.

- **Trigger:** Mounting the Onboarding component and loading a flow.

- **Impact:** Onboarding usage and screen progression are reported to the configured service; no answer contents or credentials were identified in the event payload.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T18:49:48.839Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The component posts event name, flow ID, screen ID, generated session ID, flow version, and analytics environment to the configured base URL.

- **Rationale:** The SDK sends runtime analytics automatically and offers environment labels, but no opt-out was found. The documented analytics purpose and limited event metadata make this a warning-level telemetry concern, not malicious behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** {baseUrl}/api/events, {baseUrl}/api/flows/{flowId}

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** When the Onboarding component is used, it posts flow, screen, session, version, and environment metadata to the configured base URL's /api/events endpoint., After the flow loads, the component automatically records flow\_started and screen\_viewed events., The README describes analytics and environment labels, but the source and documentation expose no setting to disable event reporting.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., The analytics payload contains event metadata and a generated session ID, not answers, credentials, or machine details., The README describes analytics as part of the package's purpose and explains the publishable key's use for sending analytics events.

When the Onboarding component is used, it posts flow, screen, session, version, and environment metadata to the configured base URL's /api/events endpoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
void fetch(`${baseUrl.replace(/\/$/, '')}/api/events`, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', [KEY_HEADER]: apiKey }, body: JSON.stringify({ app_id: flowId, event_name, screen_id, session_id: sessionId, flow_version: version, environm

- **Confidence:** 82.0%
- **Path:** lib/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@onboarding-yak/react-native@0.6.1/lib/index.js>)

After the flow loads, the component automatically records flow\_started and screen\_viewed events.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
useEffect(() => {
        if (ready) {
            // A resumed onboarding already counted its start; the step effect below counts the screen it resumes on.
            if (!resumed)
                track('flow_started');
            if (step === 0)
                track('screen_viewed', playFlow.screens[0]?.id);

- **Confidence:** 82.0%
- **Path:** README.md
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@onboarding-yak/react-native@0.6.1/README.md>)

The README describes analytics and environment labels, but the source and documentation expose no setting to disable event reporting.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```markdown
Import `Onboarding` from `@onboarding-yak/react-native` and provide a `fallbackFlow` in the same schema as the dashboard. Pass the app's publishable key as `apiKey`; the studio shows it in the app's install guide. Like a Stripe publishable key, it's meant to ship inside the app: it only lets the holder read that app's published flow and send its analytics ev
