Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 1.19.21 - **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 sends identifying project and task metadata automatically on workflow saves when monitoring is enabled, while the README does not disclose this telemetry. The configurable endpoint and disabled-by-default behavior make this a warning-level telemetry issue rather than evidence of malicious exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T23:15:46.128Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T23:16:22.818Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 992 ms - **AI review time:** 35190 ms - **Total time:** 36690 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:** Optional runtime telemetry can transmit workflow and project metadata to a configured monitor. - **Trigger:** A workflow state save while DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL is set. - **Impact:** The configured monitor receives potentially identifying project details and task content. No telemetry consent prompt or disclosure was found in the inspected README. - **Evidence paths:** monitor.js, workflow-state.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T23:16:22.818Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package posts a session snapshot to the configured URL's /api/session endpoint. The snapshot includes project path, task description, plan, machine name, and session title. - **Rationale:** The package sends identifying project and task metadata automatically on workflow saves when monitoring is enabled, while the README does not disclose this telemetry. The configurable endpoint and disabled-by-default behavior make this a warning-level telemetry issue rather than evidence of malicious exfiltration. - **Files touched:** ${INIT\_CWD}/.state/workflow-state.json - **Network endpoints:** ${DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL}/api/session ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** When DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL is set, saving workflow state automatically reports a session snapshot., The snapshot includes the project path, task description, plan, machine name, and session title., The monitor endpoint is configurable and reporting is disabled when DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL is empty., The postinstall hook creates a workflow state file under the installer's project directory. - **Evidence against:** No fixed external monitor host is embedded; the endpoint comes from DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL., Monitor reporting is disabled by default., The package's documented purpose includes workflow state tracking, and the install hook only initializes that state when absent., Agent configuration setup runs only when scripts/setup-stack.js is invoked directly. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.19.21. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.19.21 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.
