Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 29 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.4.10 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The package does not show install-time malware or token theft, but its default collection and external transmission of identifiers sourced from other AI-tool configuration files is a concrete privacy risk. This warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T17:11:28.295Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T17:13:21.307Z - **Download time:** 1259 ms - **Static scan time:** 35306 ms - **AI review time:** 76446 ms - **Total time:** 113012 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:** When the CLI server runs, it derives a stable telemetry identifier from third-party AI-tool account files and sends telemetry to PostHog. This creates a privacy and cross-tool tracking surface. - **Trigger:** A user runs the p4c CLI and starts its server runtime. - **Impact:** A remote analytics service receives a stable identifier linked to AI-tool account data and runtime activity metadata. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T17:13:21.307Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hashing AI-tool account identifiers and posting telemetry batches. - **Rationale:** The package does not show install-time malware or token theft, but its default collection and external transmission of identifiers sourced from other AI-tool configuration files is a concrete privacy risk. This warrants a warning rather than a block. - **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:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The runtime reads account identifiers from Codex and Claude user configuration files., Telemetry is enabled by default and sends a hashed identifier, event data, platform, architecture, and version to PostHog., This is an externally transmitted, cross-tool identifier rather than anonymous local-only telemetry. - **Evidence against:** There are no npm lifecycle scripts or self-dependency in the manifest., The code selects account IDs, not token values, and hashes the selected value before transmission., The telemetry endpoint and an environment-variable opt-out are explicit., Background-service installation is prompted during an invoked CLI session. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @p4code/cli@0.4.10. - Review the evidence and your use of @p4code/cli@0.4.10 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.
