AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAutomatic install-time telemetry and persistent pseudonymous tracking create a concrete privacy/data-egress risk, but the inspected source does not establish malicious payload execution or destructive behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install / postinstall
Impact
Transfers a stable salted project identifier plus environment metadata without prior opt-in.
Mechanism
persistent installation telemetry with network POST
AI rationale
Automatic install-time telemetry and persistent pseudonymous tracking create a concrete privacy/data-egress risk, but the inspected source does not establish malicious payload execution or destructive behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- npm postinstall executes telemetry automatically.
- It creates persistent installation state and a salted project identifier.
- Install telemetry POSTs metadata to a configured PostHog endpoint.
- The hook reads the local Git remote before hashing it.
Evidence against
- Payload construction hashes project identity rather than sending the raw Git origin.
- Telemetry can be disabled with OPENUI_TELEMETRY_DISABLED or DO_NOT_TRACK.
- Runtime telemetry is explicit opt-in; no remote code loading or destructive behavior found.
