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 postinstall hook performs a real automatic telemetry send, and an unset telemetry preference leaves the send enabled when other gates pass. The default collector is vendor-aligned and the inspected event is limited to a random install identifier and coarse runtime fields, so the source supports a warning but not a publication block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T14:19:34.120Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T14:22:22.902Z - **Download time:** 8460 ms - **Static scan time:** 4555 ms - **AI review time:** 155765 ms - **Total time:** 168782 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:** The postinstall hook sends default-on installation telemetry. It records a persistent install identifier and coarse runtime details, creating a limited privacy exposure. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with telemetry gates open. - **Impact:** The vendor can associate installation events with a persistent pseudonymous identifier and platform details; the inspected event does not send source files or credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/telemetry/track.js, dist/telemetry/gate.js, dist/telemetry/identity.js, dist/telemetry/send.js, dist/telemetry/key.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T14:22:22.902Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook queues an installation event and starts a detached process that posts the telemetry batch to the configured collector. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs a real automatic telemetry send, and an unset telemetry preference leaves the send enabled when other gates pass. The default collector is vendor-aligned and the inspected event is limited to a random install identifier and coarse runtime fields, so the source supports a warning but not a publication block. - **Files touched:** ~/.graft/telemetry.json - **Network endpoints:** https://events.nanonets.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall hook that records an installation event and starts a detached telemetry flush., The event includes a persistent random install identifier and coarse runtime and platform fields., Telemetry can send when its gates pass; an unset preference does not disable it, though CI, DO\_NOT\_TRACK, or an explicit disabled setting closes the gate., The default collector is the vendor's analytics host, and the event is sent in a POST request., Agent wiring is exposed through an explicit initialization command; the postinstall path records and flushes telemetry., The picker defaults its input and output receivers to process.stdin and process.stderr. - **Evidence against:** The installation event uses a random install identifier and coarse metadata rather than source files or credentials., The configured default collector is events.nanonets.com, which source identifies as the vendor's PostHog host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trailhq/trail-code@0.25.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trailhq/trail-code@0.25.0 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.
