@openuidev/lang-core@0.2.17
Framework-agnostic core for OpenUI Lang: parser, prompt generation, validation, and type definitions
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an automatic, privacy-sensitive telemetry collector rather than a confirmed malware chain. Its default postinstall network transmission and persistent project-linked state warrant a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook.
Impact
A remote service receives a persistent installation identifier, salted project hash, and environment metadata.
Mechanism
Project-derived telemetry collection and HTTP POST.
AI rationale
This is an automatic, privacy-sensitive telemetry collector rather than a confirmed malware chain. Its default postinstall network transmission and persistent project-linked state warrant a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest automatically runs a postinstall launcher.
- The install hook derives a salted project identifier from Git origin, a repository environment value, or the install directory.
- The hook persists a telemetry identifier and salt in the user's configuration directory.
- The hook POSTs the collected installation event to a default remote endpoint.
Evidence against
- The outbound behavior is bounded telemetry, has a short timeout, and failures are ignored.
- The package prints a notice and supports telemetry-disable environment variables.
- Runtime telemetry is separately gated behind an explicit opt-in flag.
- No payload download, arbitrary command execution, credential harvesting, self-dependency, or AI-agent control-surface mutation was found.
