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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T16:34:53.735Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T16:35:46.624Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 1464 ms - **AI review time:** 50659 ms - **Total time:** 52889 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:** Installing the package automatically collects bounded installation telemetry, persists identifiers, and sends an event remotely. The behavior creates a privacy-sensitive outbound channel but no confirmed payload execution or takeover path. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A remote service receives a persistent installation identifier, salted project hash, and environment metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/shared-BuVpfVsg.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T16:35:46.624Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-derived telemetry collection and HTTP POST. - **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. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, dist/postinstall.cjs, ~/.config/openui/telemetry.json - **Network endpoints:** https://dgoeivjus9jfp.cloudfront.net/capture/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @openuidev/lang-core@0.2.17. - Review the evidence and your use of @openuidev/lang-core@0.2.17 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.
