Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — A vendor can correlate use of the CLI to a persistent installation identifier without an interactive consent step. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 2.20.0 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. On the first normal CLI invocation, the package creates a persistent identifier and silently transmits it with platform metadata. Subsequent commands are retained locally and telemetry is correlated to that identifier. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T17:13:13.829Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T17:14:10.955Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 5795 ms - **AI review time:** 50317 ms - **Total time:** 57126 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:** On the first normal CLI invocation, the package creates a persistent identifier and silently transmits it with platform metadata. Subsequent commands are retained locally and telemetry is correlated to that identifier. - **Trigger:** Running the solid executable, including help or other ordinary CLI use. - **Impact:** A vendor can correlate use of the CLI to a persistent installation identifier without an interactive consent step. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/lib/first-run.js, dist/lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T17:14:10.955Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Silent device tracking and telemetry transmission. - **Attack narrative:** The executable unconditionally invokes first-run logic before command parsing. That logic writes a random machine identifier under the user home directory, then fire-and-forgets a POST containing the identifier, CLI version, and operating system to the vendor API. The same startup path records command invocations locally and sends telemetry events linked to the identifier. Although the package offers an environment-variable opt-out, it does not obtain consent before this tracking begins. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms automatic, unprompted persistence and transmission of a unique installation identifier on ordinary CLI execution. The explicit agent configuration commands are secondary; the confirmed privacy-invasive telemetry is sufficient to block publication. - **Files touched:** ~/.solid/identity.json, ~/.solid/cli\_history.json - **Network endpoints:** api.solidnumber.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI silently creates a persistent machine identifier on first execution., It sends that identifier, operating system, and version to the vendor endpoint without prompting., It also records invoked command text locally and emits correlated telemetry events., The install lifecycle itself only prints a message; the tracking is triggered when the CLI runs. - **Evidence against:** The tracked identifier is randomly generated rather than derived from hardware attributes., Telemetry can be disabled with an environment variable and is skipped in CI and containers., AI-agent configuration writes require explicit solid install or context command options. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @solidnumber/cli@2.20.0. - Avoid installing @solidnumber/cli@2.20.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
