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 15 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:** 1.0.0 - **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 sends runtime analytics to Tray after selected user-run commands, including workspace and project identifiers, without disclosing that telemetry in the README. The observed data flow does not establish credential exfiltration or other malicious behavior, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a publish-blocking attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:50:15.278Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:51:09.655Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 239 ms - **AI review time:** 53372 ms - **Total time:** 54377 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 sends command outcome and project/account metadata to Tray. - **Trigger:** After selected user-run CLI commands, including init and dev. - **Impact:** Tray receives usage and project identifiers without the README disclosing this telemetry; no credential theft or unrelated collector was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:51:09.655Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A telemetry helper resolves the Tray session token and posts event fields to the regional Tray API analytics endpoint; \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1\` or \`true\` disables it. - **Rationale:** The CLI sends runtime analytics to Tray after selected user-run commands, including workspace and project identifiers, without disclosing that telemetry in the README. The observed data flow does not establish credential exfiltration or other malicious behavior, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a publish-blocking attack. - **Network endpoints:** Tray regional API host (resolved by the SDK) /private/v1/helix/analytics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime analytics includes event outcome, CLI version, OS, architecture, Node version, locale, timezone, and workspace/project identifiers and name., Analytics is sent to the Tray API’s \`private/v1/helix/analytics\` endpoint with the user’s Tray bearer token., The telemetry helper wraps user-run commands such as \`helix init\` and \`helix dev\`; it skips sending only when \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK\` is set., The README describes deployment uploads and says \`.env\*\`, private keys, and credential files are excluded. - **Evidence against:** The observed telemetry fields do not include credentials, file contents, prompts, or command output., The package documents that deployment uploads source to the platform and excludes common secret files; this is consistent with the CLI’s purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trayai/helix-cli@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trayai/helix-cli@1.0.0 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.
