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 only loads reporting interfaces when the user selects an upload option, but those interfaces include the local username and Git metadata in the uploaded benchmark data. Since the CLI describes uploading results without identifying those extra fields, classify this as suspicious telemetry rather than malicious collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T10:44:43.503Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T10:45:31.181Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 125 ms - **AI review time:** 47037 ms - **Total time:** 47678 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:** Opt-in benchmark reporting includes identifying local metadata; no attack was identified outside those explicit upload paths. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI with --datadog or --snowflake and benchmark measurements are reported. - **Impact:** Uploaded metrics can reveal the local account name and repository commit or branch to the selected reporting destination. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/interfaces/constants.js, dist/interfaces/datadog.js, dist/interfaces/snowflake.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T10:45:31.181Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The reporting interfaces attach the local username and Git metadata to benchmark data, then send it to Datadog or a configured Snowflake batch URI. - **Rationale:** The package only loads reporting interfaces when the user selects an upload option, but those interfaces include the local username and Git metadata in the uploaded benchmark data. Since the CLI describes uploading results without identifying those extra fields, classify this as suspicious telemetry rather than malicious collection. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/interfaces/constants.js, dist/interfaces/datadog.js, dist/interfaces/snowflake.js - **Network endpoints:** Datadog API (client default endpoint; DATADOG\_HOST may override), SNOWFLAKE\_BATCH\_URI or the --snowflake batchUri argument ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI describes Datadog and Snowflake uploads as explicit options, and only loads those interfaces when the corresponding option is set., The upload interfaces attach the local username and Git commit and branch metadata to benchmark data., Snowflake sends benchmark records by POST to the configured batch URI. - **Evidence against:** The package has no install lifecycle scripts; its manifest points to a CLI and library entry point., The Datadog and Snowflake interfaces are dynamically imported only when their respective CLI options are enabled., The upload destinations are the Datadog client’s endpoint or a user-configured Snowflake URI, rather than a hard-coded unrelated collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vercel/devlow-bench@16.4.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @vercel/devlow-bench@16.4.4 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.
