Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 39.2.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. No concealed payload, self-dependency chain, or malicious install-time control-surface mutation was found. However, automatic command telemetry exports developer and project metadata when a token is present, leaving a real privacy and data-egress concern. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T20:03:00.538Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T20:05:47.797Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 2925 ms - **AI review time:** 163324 ms - **Total time:** 167259 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:** Running a startup CLI command can send repository metadata, hostname, and Git user identity to Datadog. Sending requires a Datadog client token, which may be supplied by an environment variable or optional same-vendor secrets package. - **Trigger:** Run a startup CLI command in an environment where a Datadog client token is available. - **Impact:** Project and developer identity metadata may leave the machine without a per-command consent prompt. - **Evidence paths:** src/telemetry/telemetry.ts, src/cli/commands/command.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T20:05:47.797Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Command telemetry posts Git-derived context to Datadog. - **Rationale:** No concealed payload, self-dependency chain, or malicious install-time control-surface mutation was found. However, automatic command telemetry exports developer and project metadata when a token is present, leaving a real privacy and data-egress concern. - **Network endpoints:** browser-intake-datadoghq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs a postinstall script that invokes patch-package in the consumer project., CLI telemetry collects repository, branch, hostname, and Git user identity., Telemetry posts the collected context as JSON to Datadog whenever a client token is available., The command base class records telemetry for command starts and finishes. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall code applies the included patch and removes its temporary pnpm symlinks in a finally block., The bundled patch only changes jsdom property configurability; no payload download or secret harvesting was found., No runtime dependency on @servicetitan/startup or opaque remote code-loading chain was found., The reviewed wrapper, task, dev-server, CLI, and clean-command paths implement ordinary CLI and build-tool behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @servicetitan/startup@39.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @servicetitan/startup@39.2.0 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.
