AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s documented report feature is legitimate, but its post-submission telemetry also collects and sends repository details and local Git identity without disclosing that collection. This is suspicious runtime telemetry, not evidence of credential theft or malicious install behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
After the user explicitly runs the report submission command.
Impact
Harness receives repository details and the configured Git name and email in addition to the report the user chose to submit.
Mechanism
The CLI reads Git remote, commit, status, and local Git identity, then includes them in a telemetry event sent to the bundled control-plane service.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI constructs a report-submitted telemetry event from the current repository.
- Repository metadata includes the origin remote, commit, working-tree state, and configured Git name and email.
- The event is sent to the bundled Harness control-plane host.
- The report-submitted event runs after the user invokes the report submission flow.
Evidence against
- The package is a Harness scaffolding CLI, and submitting reports to Harness is a documented feature.
- This metadata event is triggered by the explicit report command, not by install or import.
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts; the flagged process and network capabilities serve documented CLI operations.
