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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T17:45:13.523Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T17:45:58.981Z - **Download time:** 1294 ms - **Static scan time:** 179 ms - **AI review time:** 43984 ms - **Total time:** 45458 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:** Undisclosed runtime error telemetry is sent to Sentry. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T17:45:58.981Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Sentry initializes with a fixed DSN and captures exceptions, including operation and endpoint context in some request failures. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** o27611.ingest.us.sentry.io, hermes.sortlist.com, hermes.sortlist-test.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sortlist/cli@0.48.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @sortlist/cli@0.48.0 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.
