## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 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:** 0.16.0
- **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 automatically sends error reports to the vendor endpoint, including stack traces, command context, and a persistent client identity. This is identifying runtime telemetry; its errors-only scope and opt-out reduce the risk, but do not make the automatic collection benign under the review rules.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T04:44:55.355Z

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:** Automatic error telemetry can send identifying diagnostic details to the package vendor; no malicious credential theft was identified.

- **Trigger:** The CLI captures uncaught exceptions, unhandled rejections, and warn-level errors, then flushes the queue during command handling or process failure.

- **Impact:** Reports may reveal local paths, project identity, and diagnostic details to the vendor.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.js, dist/diagnostics/errorReporter.js, dist/utils/safe.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T04:46:15.715Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** It POSTs error messages, stack traces, command context, and a persistent client identity to the vendor telemetry endpoint. Configuration can disable error telemetry.

- **Rationale:** The CLI automatically sends error reports to the vendor endpoint, including stack traces, command context, and a persistent client identity. This is identifying runtime telemetry; its errors-only scope and opt-out reduce the risk, but do not make the automatic collection benign under the review rules.

- **Files touched:** .config/vectalon/client.json, .config/vectalon/telemetry-queue.json

- **Network endpoints:** telemetry.vectalon.dev

### 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 registers uncaught-exception and unhandled-rejection handlers that capture errors and flush the report queue., Error reports include the command, error message, stack trace, and persistent client identity; stack traces can contain local paths., The reports are POSTed to telemetry.vectalon.dev by default, and error telemetry is enabled unless a configuration opt-out applies., Git provider actions require allowPush and use the API for the repository’s detected provider.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The telemetry code describes collection as errors-only and provides telemetry.enabled=false and telemetry.errors=false opt-outs., The Git adapter’s PR actions are gated and use provider-specific credentials with matching provider APIs.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @vectalon-dev/rn@0.16.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @vectalon-dev/rn@0.16.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
