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 package is an otherwise conventional Vectoree CLI, and the flagged execution and network behavior serves its documented commands. However, linking silently reads a persistent OS machine identifier and sends it to the vendor, so this merits a warning for undisclosed device identification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T23:30:42.823Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T23:31:23.358Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 383 ms - **AI review time:** 39387 ms - **Total time:** 40535 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:** The link flow sends a persistent OS machine identifier to Vectoree without clearly disclosing that collection. - **Trigger:** The user runs \`vectoree link\` and selects a project to link. - **Impact:** This lets the service associate the key with a specific machine, creating an undisclosed device-privacy concern. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/chunk-5B5BZXDJ.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T23:31:23.358Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI reads an OS machine identifier, or creates a fallback UUID, then includes it as \`deviceId\` when requesting a project API key. - **Rationale:** The package is an otherwise conventional Vectoree CLI, and the flagged execution and network behavior serves its documented commands. However, linking silently reads a persistent OS machine identifier and sends it to the vendor, so this merits a warning for undisclosed device identification. - **Files touched:** ~/.vectoree/device-id, .vectoree/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://vectoree.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The link flow can collect OS machine identifiers, including the macOS platform UUID and Windows MachineGuid., When creating a project API key, the link flow sends a deviceId and a hostname-derived key name to the API., The machine identifier is collected in the user-invoked link command, which creates a CLI API key. - **Evidence against:** The identifier is sent to the package’s own Vectoree API as part of key creation; no unrelated collector or credential theft was identified., The manifest exposes the CLI through dist/index.js, and the link action is invoked by the user rather than an install hook or background task. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vectoree/cli@0.1.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @vectoree/cli@0.1.16 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.
