Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T13:17:37.622Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T13:18:02.593Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 64 ms - **AI review time:** 24144 ms - **Total time:** 24971 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry creates a limited privacy concern; no credential theft or other attack was identified. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** cli.js, license.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T13:18:02.593Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/readystack/openapi-security-contract-lint.json - **Network endpoints:** getreadystack.com/api/ev, getreadystack.com/api/rules/, api.polar.sh/v1/customer-portal/license-keys/validate ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @readystack/openapi-security-contract-lint@1.0.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @readystack/openapi-security-contract-lint@1.0.5 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
