@openuidev/lang-core@0.2.18
Framework-agnostic core for OpenUI Lang: parser, prompt generation, validation, and type definitions
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an unconsented install-time telemetry and local-state mutation path, but the inspected source limits its payload to pseudonymous identifiers and operational metadata. It warrants a warning rather than a malware block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook.
Impact
A network observer receives a stable pseudonymous installation and project identifier with platform metadata.
Mechanism
automatic installation telemetry with Git-origin-derived project hashing
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- An npm postinstall hook automatically runs package code.
- The hook derives a salted project identifier from the Git origin, repository URL, or install root and sends telemetry.
- The hook persists a telemetry identifier and salt in the user's OpenUI config directory.
- The hook invokes Git locally to read the remote origin.
Evidence against
- The transmitted project identifier is SHA-256 hashed with a locally stored salt rather than sent raw.
- Telemetry has documented environment-variable opt-outs and a two-second request timeout.
- No payload download, dynamic code execution, destructive action, or AI-agent configuration mutation was found.
