AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs undisclosed runtime telemetry when users run free CLI checks, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The observed event contains only package-use metadata, and license-key requests go to the publisher's own service.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI for a free check in an interactive terminal; a missing or invalid license can also trigger a paywall event.
Impact
The publisher can count free CLI use and paywall encounters; the observed payload does not expose credentials or project data.
Mechanism
The CLI posts package usage and context fields to the publisher's /api/ev endpoint. Environment-variable opt-outs, CI, and non-interactive execution suppress the free-use event.
AI rationale
The package performs undisclosed runtime telemetry when users run free CLI checks, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The observed event contains only package-use metadata, and license-key requests go to the publisher's own service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A free CLI run sends a usage event to getreadystack.com containing only the event type, package slug, CLI source and reason.
- The usage event runs after free checks; it is suppressed by opt-out environment variables, CI, or when there is no TTY.
- The README describes the CLI and MCP features but does not disclose runtime usage telemetry.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the CLI is the package's documented entry point.
- The usage event does not include credentials, file contents, paths, hostnames or usernames.
- License keys are sent to the publisher's service for license validation or rule-feed access.
