@tsuga/cli@1.43.0
Tsuga CLI - manage resources from the command line
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a guarded, explicit-user command that alters a local AI-agent configuration and can enable prompt telemetry. The endpoint and credential are caller supplied, so this is a warning-level capability rather than confirmed credential theft or malware.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the Tsuga setup command for Codex.
Impact
Future Codex telemetry may include user prompts and be sent to the caller-selected OTLP endpoint.
Mechanism
The command writes the OTEL configuration under the user's Codex directory, replaces an existing telemetry table, and enables prompt telemetry by default.
AI rationale
The package has a guarded, explicit-user command that alters a local AI-agent configuration and can enable prompt telemetry. The endpoint and credential are caller supplied, so this is a warning-level capability rather than confirmed credential theft or malware.
Evidence
dist/cli.js~/.codex/config.toml
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook in its inspected scripts.
- An explicit setup command rewrites Codex OTEL configuration and can replace its existing telemetry table.
- Telemetry prompt inclusion defaults to enabled, although the command provides an opt-out.
Evidence against
- The configuration action is an explicit CLI setup command, not an npm install hook.
- The telemetry endpoint and ingestion key are supplied by the caller or environment.
