# @trayai/helix-cli@0.115.0 npm security report

## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 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:** 0.115.0
- **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 CLI performs undisclosed runtime analytics that includes project and workspace identifiers, which makes this a telemetry concern under the review rules. The inspected code sends to the Tray service with its access token and does not establish the flagged unrelated credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:50:15.787Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:50:52.297Z
- **Download time:** 255 ms
- **Static scan time:** 240 ms
- **AI review time:** 36014 ms
- **Total time:** 36510 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:** Undisclosed runtime analytics reports project and workspace identifiers to the Tray service.

- **Trigger:** Running instrumented CLI commands such as \`helix init\`; the event is reported after command success or failure when a Tray access token is available.

- **Impact:** Tray receives identifying project and workspace metadata without disclosure found in the inspected README. No unrelated credential theft or command-output exfiltration was established.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:50:52.297Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI builds a bounded analytics event containing project and workspace identifiers plus runtime details, then posts it to \`private/v1/helix/analytics\` using the resolved Tray token. \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK\` can disable reporting.

- **Rationale:** The CLI performs undisclosed runtime analytics that includes project and workspace identifiers, which makes this a telemetry concern under the review rules. The inspected code sends to the Tray service with its access token and does not establish the flagged unrelated credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.

- **Network endpoints:** Tray service base URL derived from the configured region, path \`private/v1/helix/analytics\`

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI sends analytics to the relative endpoint \`private/v1/helix/analytics\` using an access token resolved from the Tray environment and a region-derived service base URL., The analytics payload includes workspace ID, project ID and project name alongside CLI, runtime and machine details; \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1\` or \`true\` disables sending., The \`helix init\` command wraps its work in the analytics reporter, which sends success or failure events.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the package exposes a CLI and a separate library entry point., Analytics runs in response to CLI commands and sends a schema-limited event payload, not command output or discovered credentials., The request uses the resolved Tray service URL and Tray access token; no fixed unrelated credential destination was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation
