ContextNest Community Edition — self-hosted context governance server for AI workflows. Commercial software by Promptowl LLC.
AI Security Review
scanned 15h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms default-on, vendor-directed telemetry that can disclose registered users’ email addresses. This supports a warning for conditional data exposure, not a publish block; one selected dependency’s source remains unresolved.
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
Starting the server starts the telemetry loop; it flushes periodically when a PromptOwl key is configured.
Impact
User identity and usage data may leave a self-hosted server without affirmative telemetry opt-in.
Mechanism
The telemetry code looks up stored user emails, adds them to event data, and posts the resulting payload to the configured product API origin.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms default-on, vendor-directed telemetry that can disclose registered users’ email addresses. This supports a warning for conditional data exposure, not a publish block; one selected dependency’s source remains unresolved.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 81.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes dist/index.js as its command entrypoint.
- The flagged browser code concatenates ZIP data, and the flagged server code formats notification digests.
- Server startup starts telemetry. It runs by default unless TELEMETRY_ENABLED is set to false, and sends queued events when a PromptOwl key is configured.
- Telemetry looks up registered users’ email addresses and can add them to event data before posting to the configured PromptOwl API origin.
Evidence against
- The telemetry recipient defaults to the product’s own API, and operators can disable telemetry.
- The flagged runtime ranges do not show credential forwarding or an account action.
