Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 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:** 0.112.0 - **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 analytics endpoint and purpose are disclosed, but the payload includes a project name derived from the \`helix init\` argument, conflicting with the changelog’s statement that command arguments are excluded. This is a limited runtime telemetry concern, not evidence of credential theft or malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:48:52.277Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:50:03.671Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 335 ms - **AI review time:** 70046 ms - **Total time:** 71394 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 includes a project name derived from the \`helix init\` argument, despite the changelog saying command arguments are excluded. - **Trigger:** A user runs a tracked CLI command such as \`helix init\` while logged in; \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1\` or \`true\` suppresses reporting. - **Impact:** A user-supplied project name or directory-derived name is disclosed to Tray as analytics data beyond the stated exclusion of command arguments. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, CHANGELOG.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:50:03.671Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends event metadata and project fields, including \`projectName\`, to the environment-selected Tray API endpoint using the saved Tray session token. - **Rationale:** The analytics endpoint and purpose are disclosed, but the payload includes a project name derived from the \`helix init\` argument, conflicting with the changelog’s statement that command arguments are excluded. This is a limited runtime telemetry concern, not evidence of credential theft or malware. - **Network endpoints:** Environment-selected Tray API base URL: private/v1/helix/analytics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI posts usage events to the environment-selected Tray API at \`private/v1/helix/analytics\`, using the saved Tray session token., The analytics payload includes \`projectName\`; the \`helix init\` command accepts a project name or directory argument and derives the event’s project name from it., The changelog discloses analytics for \`init\`, \`login\`, \`dev\`, and \`deploy\`, but says command arguments are not included. - **Evidence against:** Analytics is sent to Tray’s own API and only when a saved login token is available., The changelog says analytics excludes source code, file paths, and credentials., The package recognizes \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1\` or \`true\` to suppress analytics. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trayai/helix-cli@0.112.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trayai/helix-cli@0.112.0 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.
