AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime usage telemetry to the publisher’s service, and the README does not disclose it. The event payload is limited to usage metadata and has opt-outs, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than evidence of credential exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Interactive CLI use, or an interactive no-key or invalid-key paywall event; CI and configured telemetry opt-outs suppress sending.
Impact
The publisher can count product-use and paywall events. The reviewed payloads do not include user files or credentials.
Mechanism
HTTPS POST sends the event type, package slug, CLI or MCP source, and a reason code.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime usage telemetry to the publisher’s service, and the README does not disclose it. The event payload is limited to usage metadata and has opt-outs, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than evidence of credential exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A free CLI run sends a usage event containing the package slug, CLI source, and event reason to getreadystack.com/api/ev.
- A paywall event sends the package slug, CLI or MCP source, and a reason to the same endpoint.
- The events are gated on interactive use and can be suppressed with DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or READYSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY; CI is also excluded.
- The event payloads contain usage categories, not file contents, credentials, hostnames, or usernames.
Evidence against
- The package is a COPPA notice linter with a CLI entry point.
- License keys are used for this package’s licensing and rule-feed features.

Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
