AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs runtime telemetry to its publisher's service, but the README does not disclose it. The events contain limited usage fields and support opt-outs, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A free CLI scan in an interactive terminal, or an eligible missing-key check in a terminal or MCP session.
Impact
The publisher learns that the package was used and whether a paywall event occurred.
Mechanism
The CLI posts package usage or paywall event fields to getreadystack.com/api/ev.
AI rationale
The package performs runtime telemetry to its publisher's service, but the README does not disclose it. The events contain limited usage fields and support opt-outs, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes cli.js as the package command.
- After a free scan, the CLI calls pingUse().
- pingUse sends a usage event containing the package slug, source and reason to getreadystack.com/api/ev.
- A missing licence key triggers a paywall event to the same endpoint during eligible terminal or MCP use.
Evidence against
- The events contain limited usage fields rather than credentials, file contents or environment values.
- The telemetry checks DO_NOT_TRACK, READYSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY and CI before sending.
- The README describes free scans and licensed folder sweeps but does not disclose usage telemetry.
