## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 20 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:** 2.18.0
- **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.

Running the CLI silently sends a generated machine identifier, operating-system class, version, and limited command telemetry to the vendor. Running \`solid install\` changes the global Claude Code SessionStart configuration.

## Latest scan

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 the CLI silently sends a generated machine identifier, operating-system class, version, and limited command telemetry to the vendor. Running \`solid install\` changes the global Claude Code SessionStart configuration.

- **Trigger:** CLI invocation; separately, explicit \`solid install\`.

- **Impact:** Enables cross-invocation tracking and can cause vendor context refreshes in Claude Code sessions.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/lib/first-run.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js, dist/commands/install.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T01:42:22.314Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Silent telemetry plus an explicit global AI-agent hook installation.

- **Rationale:** The package has a real privacy and AI-agent control-surface risk, but the high-impact settings write requires an explicit command and the npm postinstall does not perform it. The observed source does not establish malicious install-hook abuse or credential theft.

- **Files touched:** ~/.solid/identity.json, ~/.solid/cli\_history.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, .claude/CLAUDE.md, .claude/solid-context.json

- **Network endpoints:** api.solidnumber.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Every CLI invocation automatically creates a persistent machine identifier and sends it with OS and version data to the vendor., The telemetry sender uploads a correlated event and command field without an interactive consent step., The explicit \`solid install\` command writes a SessionStart command into the global Claude Code settings file.

- **Evidence against:** The package postinstall hook only prints a getting-started message., The Claude settings mutation is behind an explicit CLI command, supports preview and uninstall, and only adds its own command., No self-dependency, install-time network request, credential harvesting, or remote code execution was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @solidnumber/cli@2.18.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @solidnumber/cli@2.18.0 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.

matchedPackage = @solidnumber/cli@2.16.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHNvbGlkbnVtYmVyL2NsaQ:2.16.0

summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
