## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 21 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:** 65.8.0
- **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 bundled OIDC helper discloses the machine hostname and runtime details to Vercel during authentication. This is a narrow runtime privacy concern, not evidence of credential theft or unrelated data collection.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T19:48:00.687Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-29T19:49:40.530Z
- **Download time:** 255 ms
- **Static scan time:** 10937 ms
- **AI review time:** 88650 ms
- **Total time:** 99843 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:** OIDC refresh requests disclose the local hostname and runtime details to Vercel’s authentication service.

- **Trigger:** When the bundled OIDC helper performs token endpoint discovery or refresh; not on install or ordinary import.

- **Impact:** Vercel’s auth service receives the machine hostname and runtime details without a separate telemetry prompt; this is a limited privacy risk.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/chunks/chunk-UVHKXCR5.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T19:49:40.530Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The helper adds the Node version, platform, architecture, and os.hostname() to a User-Agent that it sends with discovery and refresh requests.

- **Rationale:** The bundled OIDC helper discloses the machine hostname and runtime details to Vercel during authentication. This is a narrow runtime privacy concern, not evidence of credential theft or unrelated data collection.

- **Network endpoints:** https://vercel.com/.well-known/openid-configuration, token\_endpoint returned by Vercel discovery, https://api.vercel.com/v1/projects/{projectId}/token

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 74.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The bundled OIDC helper puts the Node version, platform, architecture, and local hostname in its User-Agent., OIDC token refresh sends that User-Agent to the token endpoint returned by Vercel’s discovery request.

- **Evidence against:** The hostname disclosure is limited to the Vercel OIDC authentication flow; the code does not show it being sent to an unrelated collector., No lifecycle script is declared in the package manifest.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @vercel/cli-support@65.8.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @vercel/cli-support@65.8.0 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.
