Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.106.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 discloses runtime analytics and provides a DO\_NOT\_TRACK opt-out, but the payload includes projectName, an identifying detail beyond the documented exclusions. This warrants a telemetry warning; the flagged credential-redirection and command-output signals were not substantiated by the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:50:42.162Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:51:34.725Z - **Download time:** 1032 ms - **Static scan time:** 240 ms - **AI review time:** 51290 ms - **Total time:** 52563 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 usage analytics includes the project name, which can identify a user's project. - **Trigger:** Running the init, login, dev, or deploy CLI command while logged in; DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 or true disables it. - **Impact:** The vendor receives project-identifying metadata with usage analytics; no credential theft or command-output exfiltration was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, CHANGELOG.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:51:34.725Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI posts command outcome and runtime fields, including workspaceId, projectId, and projectName, with the Tray login token to private/v1/helix/analytics on the environment profile's API host. - **Rationale:** The package discloses runtime analytics and provides a DO\_NOT\_TRACK opt-out, but the payload includes projectName, an identifying detail beyond the documented exclusions. This warrants a telemetry warning; the flagged credential-redirection and command-output signals were not substantiated by the inspected source. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** Environment profile API host: private/v1/helix/analytics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI analytics payload includes workspaceId, projectId, and projectName alongside runtime and command outcome fields., The CLI sends that payload with the local Tray login token to the Helix analytics route; DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 or true disables sending. - **Evidence against:** The changelog discloses usage analytics for init, login, dev, and deploy, says it is sent only when logged in, and excludes source code, command arguments, file paths, and credentials., The manifest exposes a CLI bin and library entry point; no install lifecycle hook is declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trayai/helix-cli@0.106.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trayai/helix-cli@0.106.0 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.
