It also supports an explicitly invoked persistent background service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T05:09:02.753Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T05:10:39.305Z - **Download time:** 1273 ms - **Static scan time:** 30272 ms - **AI review time:** 65006 ms - **Total time:** 96552 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** At runtime, the server derives a telemetry identifier from local Codex or Claude account metadata and sends event batches to PostHog. It also supports an explicitly invoked persistent background service. - **Trigger:** Running the P4Code server with default telemetry enabled; persistence requires a service command. - **Impact:** A third party can receive a stable identifier linked to a local Codex or Claude account, plus event and platform metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T05:10:39.305Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Default outbound telemetry using a hash of local AI-tool account identifiers. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time hook, but it performs default third-party telemetry tied to identifiers taken from foreign AI-tool authentication configuration. This is a concrete privacy and data-export risk, though not proven credential theft. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.p4/telemetry/anonymous-id - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The running server reads identifiers from Codex and Claude authentication files., It hashes those identifiers, enables telemetry by default, and sends batches to PostHog., The package also provides explicit commands to install a persistent background service. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., The inspected telemetry parser selects account identifiers, not authentication tokens., No source-backed archive or registry credential upload claimed by the scanner was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
