AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source confirms default-on telemetry that can disclose user emails from a self-hosted server to the package vendor, so this warrants a privacy warning. The inspected runtime-operation hints are benign formatting or data concatenation, and the provider API-key request is directed to its configured provider.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The server starts and telemetry is enabled, which is the default unless TELEMETRY_ENABLED is set to false.

Impact

User-identifying activity data leaves the server. The inspected code does not establish credential theft or transfer of prompt contents.

Mechanism

The server queues product events, adds an email address for events with a user ID when available, and posts events and usage counts to the configured telemetry endpoint.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Server startup starts telemetry, which is enabled unless explicitly disabled.
Telemetry batches usage events and counts; it can resolve user IDs to email addresses and posts the data to the configured PromptOwl endpoint.
An OIDC registration event queues the user's email for telemetry.
The inspected credential request fetches models from the configured provider endpoint using that provider's API key; it does not establish a separate credential export.
The unresolved runtime-operation locations are JavaScriptZip byte concatenation and notification digest or formatting code; they do not show an account action.

Evidence against

Telemetry is sent to the package vendor's default endpoint and can be disabled with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false.
The package entrypoint is the server, and its prepublishOnly script builds the package; the telemetry behavior is runtime-triggered.
The supplied API credential is sent to the provider endpoint selected by its configured base URL.
