@thoughtspot/visual-embed-sdk@1.53.1
ThoughtSpot Embed SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 20h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe SDK sends runtime analytics that include identifying user, cluster, and host details, and embed creation adds most view configuration fields to an event. This is a telemetry risk; the inspected auth flow targets the caller-supplied ThoughtSpot host and does not establish credential exfiltration.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Creating an embed, after Mixpanel has been initialized with a session token.
Impact
Telemetry may link SDK use and embed configuration to a user, cluster, or host application.
Mechanism
The SDK tracks an embed creation event and registers userGUID, cluster identifiers, release version, SDK version, and host application hostname with Mixpanel. It also forwards view configuration fields beyond the specially summarized filters and parameters.
AI rationale
The SDK sends runtime analytics that include identifying user, cluster, and host details, and embed creation adds most view configuration fields to an event. This is a telemetry risk; the inspected auth flow targets the caller-supplied ThoughtSpot host and does not establish credential exfiltration.
Evidence
lib/src/embed/ts-embed.jslib/src/utils/runtimeTelemetry.jslib/src/mixpanel-service.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Creating an embed automatically queues a Mixpanel event containing a summary of its view configuration.
- The summary forwards all view configuration fields except runtime filters and parameters, which are reduced to counts and recognized enum values.
- Mixpanel setup identifies non-public users by userGUID and registers cluster identifiers and the host application hostname.
Evidence against
- The package is an SDK for embedding ThoughtSpot analytics, and its auth service sends tokens to the caller-supplied ThoughtSpot host.
- Runtime filter and parameter values are explicitly excluded from telemetry; only counts and recognized enum values are retained.
- The manifest's prepare and prepublishOnly scripts are Husky setup and build/test tasks, with no install-time network hook.
