## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Automatic runtime analytics are sent without a documented opt-out.

- **Trigger:** Onboarding startup and subsequent screen views or completion.

- **Impact:** The configured service receives onboarding usage metadata; the documented payload excludes answer text and selected answers.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T01:08:16.290Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The SDK posts event metadata to /api/events at the supplied baseUrl, authenticated with the supplied API key.

- **Rationale:** This is disclosed runtime analytics tied to the app’s configured service, and the source excludes answer content. Because reporting is automatic and the exposed options do not provide an opt-out, classify it as warning-level telemetry.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The SDK automatically sends analytics events when an onboarding starts and when screens are viewed or completed., The event payload includes app, screen, session, flow-version, environment and platform metadata., The documented component options include an analytics environment label, but no analytics opt-out., The README discloses the events and says answer text and selected answers are excluded.

- **Evidence against:** The README describes the events as anonymous and explains what they contain., Network requests use the caller-supplied baseUrl and API key; no fixed external collector host is present., The package manifest has no install, preinstall or postinstall hook.

## Current limitations

The package is an early prototype and has not yet been published to npm. Flows use the app-specific `flowId` created in OnboardingYak. When the SDK starts, it sends anonymous `flow_started` and `screen_viewed` events. Advancing sends `screen_completed`; finishing or skipping sends `flow_completed`. Events include app ID, screen ID, flow version, and an ephemeral session ID. Answer text and selected answ
