@readystack/openapi-security-contract-lint@1.0.5
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 lines in an OpenAPI file that publish an endpoint with no authentication, an API key in the query string, or an OAuth grant RFC 9700 forbids.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends undisclosed runtime usage and paywall telemetry to the publisher, though the observed payload contains only package and event metadata and offers opt-outs. The license key requests target Polar and the package's own rules service, consistent with the advertised license feature.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI interactively for a free scan, or reaching the license paywall; telemetry is skipped in CI and can be disabled with the documented environment flags in source.
Impact
The publisher receives package usage and paywall event counts. The observed event payload contains no credentials or identifying project data.
Mechanism
The CLI posts package usage or paywall event fields to getreadystack.com/api/ev. The license flow also sends the supplied license key to Polar for validation and to the package's own rules feed.
AI rationale
The CLI sends undisclosed runtime usage and paywall telemetry to the publisher, though the observed payload contains only package and event metadata and offers opt-outs. The license key requests target Polar and the package's own rules service, consistent with the advertised license feature.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Interactive CLI use and paywall events send runtime counters to getreadystack.com; package documentation does not disclose this telemetry.
- The counters contain only the package slug, source, and event reason, and have opt-out environment flags; no credentials or user/project data are included in the payload.
- License keys are used for Polar validation and the package's own rules feed, matching the licensing feature.
Evidence against
- The CLI performs the advertised OpenAPI linting and license-gated workspace scanning.
- Telemetry is limited to interactive sessions or paywall events and is suppressed by CI or opt-out variables.
- No install lifecycle scripts or unrelated collector endpoint were identified.
