Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 26 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 5.0.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. The package’s default command hook sends command arguments as telemetry to Shopify’s own analytics endpoint, with only limited redaction. This is suspicious telemetry under the review rules, but the source does not show credential theft or unrelated collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T14:34:42.133Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T14:37:27.828Z - **Download time:** 2286 ms - **Static scan time:** 59511 ms - **AI review time:** 103897 ms - **Total time:** 165695 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:** Default runtime telemetry sends command arguments to Shopify’s analytics service. - **Trigger:** A CLI command starts and runs the prerun hook. - **Impact:** Command arguments may contain sensitive values that are not covered by the redaction rules. - **Evidence paths:** dist/hooks/prerun.js, dist/chunk-NCPZVARH.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T14:37:27.828Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook passes argv to analytics; the resulting payload includes the joined arguments and applies limited redaction before sending. - **Rationale:** The package’s default command hook sends command arguments as telemetry to Shopify’s own analytics endpoint, with only limited redaction. This is suspicious telemetry under the review rules, but the source does not show credential theft or unrelated collection. - **Network endpoints:** https://monorail-edge.shopifysvc.com/v1/produce ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The default prerun hook calls startAnalytics with the command arguments., The telemetry payload includes the full command arguments and applies only limited secret redaction., The analytics code sends command telemetry to Shopify’s Monorail endpoint. - **Evidence against:** This is a Shopify CLI, and the telemetry is sent to a Shopify service., The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall script. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shopify/cli@5.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @shopify/cli@5.0.1 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.
