User-invoked runtime features include analytics, explicit background-service setup, and configured hub synchronization. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T14:05:47.747Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T14:07:44.127Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 34186 ms - **AI review time:** 81434 ms - **Total time:** 116380 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was confirmed. User-invoked runtime features include analytics, explicit background-service setup, and configured hub synchronization. - **Trigger:** Running p4c commands or starting its server - **Impact:** A hashed analytics identifier and runtime metadata are sent to PostHog; configured hub assets may be synchronized. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T14:07:44.127Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** CLI server, opt-out telemetry, and explicitly configured hub sync - **Rationale:** The scanner's claimed sensitive archive/registry exfiltration was not substantiated by source inspection. Observed privileged operations are disclosed CLI functionality, while service setup is user-confirmed and no install-time execution exists. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.p4/telemetry/anonymous-id, ~/.config/systemd/user/p4code.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.p4code.server.plist - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Default-enabled telemetry derives a SHA-256 identifier from a Codex or Claude account ID and posts analytics to PostHog., The CLI can create a per-user launchd/systemd background service, but only through its service command and confirmation flow., Hub sync writes assets only to a user-configured hub URL with its configured bearer token. - **Evidence against:** package.json has a bin entry but no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., The telemetry path hashes an account identifier; no token or credential field is sent., Sensitive asset paths are explicitly blocked before model compression., No archive-and-registry upload, remote payload execution, or covert foreign agent-control mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
