AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs undisclosed runtime telemetry when the CLI is used interactively, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The inspected telemetry contains usage fields only, and the license-key requests serve the package’s licensing function.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Running the CLI for a free scan, or checking a paid feature without a license key, in an interactive terminal.
Impact
The vendor can observe product usage and whether the user encountered the paywall; no sensitive project or credential data was identified in these payloads.
Mechanism
The CLI posts product slug, source, and event reason to getreadystack.com/api/ev. Environment-variable opt-outs are present in the source.
AI rationale
The package performs undisclosed runtime telemetry when the CLI is used interactively, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The inspected telemetry contains usage fields only, and the license-key requests serve the package’s licensing function.

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 automatically calls `pingUse()` after scanning.
- `pingUse()` sends a usage event containing the product slug, CLI source, and `free` reason to `getreadystack.com/api/ev`; it has environment-variable opt-outs and only runs in a TTY.
- When no license key is available, `ensure()` calls `pingPaywall('no_key')`; that sends a paywall event with the product slug, source, and reason to the same endpoint.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; network behavior is triggered by running the CLI.
- The telemetry payloads contain usage fields rather than credentials, file contents, project details, or environment values.
- License keys are used for licensing validation, and the README describes the license requirement for paid workspace scans.
