Not affiliated with ReadyStack (readystack.dev). No new versions are published here. These tools continue under the name Rulestamp, by the team behind getreadystack.com.
Finds the dependencies whose licence changed under you - Terraform 1.6+ BUSL, Redis 7.4+ SSPL, Bitnami's August 2025 move, Elastic 7.11 - and names the exact version where each flip happened.
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reported credential transfer is license validation to the package's stated service and its validation provider. The inspected telemetry sends limited product-use fields, with interactive-use and opt-out gates; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI starts its license-feed check; interactive free runs can also send a usage ping.
Impact
No unrelated credential recipient, destructive action, or other confirmed attack behavior was established.
Mechanism
License keys go to the product's license services for validation. The usage ping sends product, source, and reason fields and is gated by interactive use and telemetry opt-outs.
AI rationale
The reported credential transfer is license validation to the package's stated service and its validation provider. The inspected telemetry sends limited product-use fields, with interactive-use and opt-out gates; no concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies cli.js as the command-line entry point and lists getreadystack.com as the package homepage.
- license.js sends license keys to getreadystack.com for this product's license validation.
- The fallback license check sends the key to Polar's license-validation endpoint.
- The CLI's usage ping sends product, source, and reason fields; it is limited to interactive use and can be disabled.
- At startup, the CLI may load rules from the package's own feed and add them to its scanner.
Evidence against
- The package does make network requests and transmits a license key to its licensing services; the inspected source ties those requests to license validation.
