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’s authentication requests send credentials to the caller-provided ThoughtSpot host, consistent with its purpose. However, runtime Mixpanel analytics also identifies non-public users and registers the embedding host without a visible consent or opt-out check, which meets the suspicious telemetry criteria. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T01:39:50.415Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T01:40:55.537Z - **Download time:** 1795 ms - **Static scan time:** 10008 ms - **AI review time:** 53318 ms - **Total time:** 65122 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:** Runtime analytics sends identifying details to Mixpanel without a visible consent or opt-out check in the reviewed flow. - **Trigger:** Authentication fetches ThoughtSpot session information; rendering an embed queues telemetry events. - **Impact:** Mixpanel receives a service-issued user identifier and the host of the embedding application alongside SDK usage events. - **Evidence paths:** cjs/src/mixpanel-service.js, cjs/src/auth.js, cjs/src/embed/ts-embed.js, cjs/src/utils/sessionInfoService.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T01:40:55.537Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK initializes Mixpanel with a session-provided token, identifies non-public users by userGUID, and registers the embedding host and cluster metadata. - **Rationale:** The package’s authentication requests send credentials to the caller-provided ThoughtSpot host, consistent with its purpose. However, runtime Mixpanel analytics also identifies non-public users and registers the embedding host without a visible consent or opt-out check, which meets the suspicious telemetry criteria. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime Mixpanel initialization identifies non-public users with the session’s userGUID., Mixpanel registers the embedding host and ThoughtSpot cluster metadata., Authentication and rendering trigger session setup and runtime telemetry., Authentication tokens are sent to the caller-provided ThoughtSpot host. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a ThoughtSpot embedding SDK, and its token requests target the configured ThoughtSpot host., The declared lifecycle scripts are prepare and prepublishOnly; neither is an install or postinstall hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk@1.53.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk@1.53.0 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.
