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:** 1.5.0 - **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 source implements default runtime analytics that include project names and IDs, with DO\_NOT\_TRACK as an opt-out. The reviewed evidence does not establish credential theft or an unrelated data collector, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:51:16.930Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:52:40.403Z - **Download time:** 1294 ms - **Static scan time:** 331 ms - **AI review time:** 81847 ms - **Total time:** 83473 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 collect project-identifying metadata. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs init, login, dev, or deploy without DO\_NOT\_TRACK set to 1 or true. - **Impact:** Tray receives project names and identifiers alongside runtime and command outcome data. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:52:40.403Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It posts event and environment metadata, including project name and IDs, with a Tray login token to the Tray region API. - **Rationale:** The source implements default runtime analytics that include project names and IDs, with DO\_NOT\_TRACK as an opt-out. The reviewed evidence does not establish credential theft or an unrelated data collector, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than malicious behavior. - **Network endpoints:** Tray region API: /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:** Runtime analytics include command outcome, platform details, locale, workspace and project IDs, and project name., Analytics are sent by default to the Tray region API at /private/v1/helix/analytics; DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 or true disables sending. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall script., The analytics destination is the package’s Tray service, and the reviewed code does not show credentials or command output being sent to an unrelated host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trayai/helix-cli@1.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @trayai/helix-cli@1.5.0 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.
