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. This is a real conditional data-exfiltration surface rather than an opaque payload, but it is tied to user-invoked CLI use and a configured vendor telemetry token. The automatic patch hook is transparent and locally scoped. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T00:22:20.842Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T00:23:46.468Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 2213 ms - **AI review time:** 82399 ms - **Total time:** 85626 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 transmit Git identity and host metadata when a Datadog token is present. Installation itself applies a local dependency patch but makes no network request. - **Trigger:** A user runs a startup CLI command with DATADOG\_CLIENT\_TOKEN set or the optional secrets package available. - **Impact:** Git username, email, repository, branch, hostname, platform, and command metadata can leave the machine. - **Evidence paths:** dist/telemetry/telemetry.js, dist/cli/commands/command.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T00:23:46.468Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Conditional telemetry collection and HTTPS POST to Datadog. - **Rationale:** This is a real conditional data-exfiltration surface rather than an opaque payload, but it is tied to user-invoked CLI use and a configured vendor telemetry token. The automatic patch hook is transparent and locally scoped. - **Network endpoints:** browser-intake-datadoghq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The install hook runs patch-package against the consumer project., CLI telemetry collects the Git username, email, repository, branch, hostname, and platform., When a Datadog client token is available, telemetry posts that context to Datadog., Every recorded CLI command starts this telemetry flow. - **Evidence against:** The network request is conditional on a configured or optional-package Datadog token., The postinstall patch is a visible jsdom compatibility patch and its temporary symlinks are removed., No self-dependency, concealed payload, agent-control write, or install-time network request was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @servicetitan/startup@39.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @servicetitan/startup@39.3.0 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.
