@sortlist/cli@0.48.0
Sortlist platform CLI — GraphQL federation client
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source initializes Sentry for published CLI runs and sends captured exceptions without an evident opt-out or disclosure in the inspected code. The credential flow itself posts Sortlist client credentials to the configured token endpoint, so the finding is telemetry rather than credential exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the published CLI; error events are sent when captured during CLI operations.
Impact
Error messages and stack traces, plus request context, may be disclosed to the Sentry project without a documented runtime opt-out in the inspected source.
Mechanism
Sentry initializes with a fixed DSN and captures exceptions, including operation and endpoint context in some request failures.
AI rationale
The source initializes Sentry for published CLI runs and sends captured exceptions without an evident opt-out or disclosure in the inspected code. The credential flow itself posts Sortlist client credentials to the configured token endpoint, so the finding is telemetry rather than credential exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI initializes Sentry outside local development and sends exception events to a fixed Sentry DSN.
- Captured errors can include the GraphQL operation name and endpoint; command errors are captured and flushed during CLI startup.
- Sortlist client credentials are posted to the configured token endpoint, rather than being sent through the Sentry error-reporting path.
Evidence against
- The credential exchange uses the configured token endpoint for the Sortlist CLI’s client-credentials flow.
- The launcher invokes the bundled CLI when the user runs the command; the inspected entry code shows no install-time credential collection.

Cross File Remote Execution Context
Source spawns a local helper that also contains network and dynamic execution context; review data flow before blocking.
