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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T06:09:18.117Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T06:11:14.760Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 4154 ms - **AI review time:** 111458 ms - **Total time:** 116643 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:** Default-on runtime telemetry sends usage events and server counts to the PromptOwl service. Some queued events can include user email addresses, creating a privacy risk for self-hosted deployments. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/chunk-X6K7AOS3.js, dist/chunk-GEXC3CNU.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T06:11:14.760Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **Rationale:** 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. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/chunk-X6K7AOS3.js, dist/chunk-GEXC3CNU.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.promptowl.ai/api/telemetry/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptowl/contextnest-community@2.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptowl/contextnest-community@2.2.0 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.
