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 added runtime dependency runs a postinstall telemetry hook by default and reports pseudonymous installation and project metadata to a PostHog endpoint. The notice and opt-out reduce the concern, but default install-time telemetry is warning-level under the review rules. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:31:56.074Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:32:57.272Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 77 ms - **AI review time:** 60615 ms - **Total time:** 61198 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:** A runtime dependency sends pseudonymous installation telemetry during install by default. - **Trigger:** Installing @open-wa/plugin-sdk with lifecycle scripts enabled triggers the dependency’s postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Project installs are reported to the telemetry service without an affirmative opt-in, creating an undisclosed-by-default install-time telemetry risk. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c602988c-c78d-4dec-b232-0ca53591b2cf/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c602988c-c78d-4dec-b232-0ca53591b2cf/1/npm-linux/postinstall.cjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c602988c-c78d-4dec-b232-0ca53591b2cf/1/npm-linux/dist/postinstall.cjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c602988c-c78d-4dec-b232-0ca53591b2cf/1/npm-linux/dist/shared-BuVpfVsg.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:32:57.272Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook gathers a random install ID, a salted project identity hash and ordinary environment metadata, then POSTs a PostHog event through a CloudFront endpoint; two environment flags disable it. - **Rationale:** The added runtime dependency runs a postinstall telemetry hook by default and reports pseudonymous installation and project metadata to a PostHog endpoint. The notice and opt-out reduce the concern, but default install-time telemetry is warning-level under the review rules. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/openui/telemetry.json (or $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/openui/telemetry.json) - **Network endpoints:** https://dgoeivjus9jfp.cloudfront.net/capture/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package adds @openuidev/lang-core@1.0.1 as a runtime dependency; that dependency declares a postinstall script., The dependency’s postinstall runs installation telemetry automatically unless OPENUI\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=1 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 is set., The telemetry sends a random installation ID, a salted hash of project identity, package and runtime versions, platform details, package-manager data, and CI/Docker metadata., The default telemetry endpoint is https://dgoeivjus9jfp.cloudfront.net/capture/, used as a PostHog capture endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The dependency’s telemetry code displays a notice describing the data collected and how to disable telemetry., The inspected SDK entry points describe plugin and UI helpers; no unrelated automatic account action or credential collection was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @open-wa/plugin-sdk@5.10.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @open-wa/plugin-sdk@5.10.0 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.
