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 performs runtime analytics by default after login, including embed configuration and identifying metadata; its opt-out is marked hidden, so this is undisclosed telemetry. The token verification flow targets the configured ThoughtSpot host, and the flagged parity spec is test-only. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T01:39:16.514Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T01:40:31.791Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 6186 ms - **AI review time:** 68332 ms - **Total time:** 75277 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 embed configuration and usage events to Mixpanel after login; no other attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A user initializes the SDK and completes login on a cluster that provides a Mixpanel token. - **Impact:** Embedding configuration and usage metadata, including a non-public user's GUID and the host application's hostname, may be disclosed to analytics. No credential theft was established. - **Evidence paths:** lib/src/embed/base.js, lib/src/auth.js, lib/src/mixpanel-service.js, lib/src/types.d.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T01:40:31.791Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK queues initialization data from the embed configuration, then initializes Mixpanel after login and flushes queued events. Only the \`password\` field is excluded from the initialization payload; a hidden option disables tracking. - **Rationale:** The package performs runtime analytics by default after login, including embed configuration and identifying metadata; its opt-out is marked hidden, so this is undisclosed telemetry. The token verification flow targets the configured ThoughtSpot host, and the flagged parity spec is test-only. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** SDK initialization queues the embed configuration for Mixpanel, excluding only the \`password\` field., After login, SDK tracking starts by default unless \`disableSDKTracking\` is set; that option is marked hidden., Mixpanel identifies users on non-public clusters by their session \`userGUID\`., The newly added parity spec reads source files only inside its test case; it is not an import-time action. - **Evidence against:** The token verification request sends the supplied auth token to the configured ThoughtSpot host., Mixpanel tracking requires a token supplied through the ThoughtSpot session configuration., The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script; \`prepublishOnly\` is not a registry install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk@1.52.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk@1.52.1 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.
