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 package sends runtime usage and paywall telemetry to the vendor during interactive use, without disclosing it in the README. The events contain limited package metadata and have opt-outs, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T15:12:21.138Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T15:12:57.309Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 70 ms - **AI review time:** 35329 ms - **Total time:** 36171 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 reports package use and paywall events to the vendor. - **Trigger:** A free CLI run in an interactive terminal, or an interactive paywall check; telemetry can be suppressed with the documented environment opt-outs in code. - **Impact:** The vendor receives usage and paywall event data; no user, project or credential data was identified in those event payloads. - **Evidence paths:** cli.js, license.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T15:12:57.309Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI posts package slug, source and reason fields to getreadystack.com/api/ev. - **Rationale:** The package sends runtime usage and paywall telemetry to the vendor during interactive use, without disclosing it in the README. The events contain limited package metadata and have opt-outs, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** getreadystack.com/api/ev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** A free CLI run sends a usage event containing the package slug, CLI source and a fixed reason to getreadystack.com/api/ev when run in a TTY, unless telemetry opt-outs or CI are set., The CLI calls the usage event after free runs; README.md does not disclose this telemetry., Interactive paywall checks also send a limited event with the package slug, source and reason to the vendor endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry payloads contain package usage and reason fields, not hostnames, usernames, project data, file contents or credentials., Paywall telemetry is gated to a TTY or MCP session and can be disabled with DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 or READYSTACK\_NO\_TELEMETRY; CLI usage telemetry also checks CI., The license key is used for Polar validation and the vendor's rules feed, consistent with the package's licensing feature. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @readystack/tfstate-secret-leak-lint@1.0.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @readystack/tfstate-secret-leak-lint@1.0.4 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.
