AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install hook or evident credential theft, and the flagged backfill is an explicit admin tool. Its runtime analytics nevertheless sends identifiable usage events to PostHog without an evident opt-out, which warrants a warning for undisclosed telemetry.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Runtime code calls the analytics capture functions during application events when analytics is configured.
Impact
This enables user-linked tracking of application activity without an evident opt-out in the inspected source.
Mechanism
The package posts event properties and a distinct user ID to the configured PostHog host; event properties include owner handles, app slugs, and client or usage details.
AI rationale
The package has no install hook or evident credential theft, and the flagged backfill is an explicit admin tool. Its runtime analytics nevertheless sends identifiable usage events to PostHog without an evident opt-out, which warrants a warning for undisclosed telemetry.
Evidence
analytics.js
Network endpoints1
Configured vctx.posthogHost; the package also contains the literal host https://us.posthog.com in manually invoked reporting tools.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime analytics sends event data by POST to the configured PostHog host.
- Code generation events include user IDs, owner handles, app slugs, client details, and usage metadata.
- The analytics capture path has no opt-out in the inspected source.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts.
- The avatar backfill is a manually invoked admin script; writes require --apply.
- The alarm scripts use GitHub credentials only for optional writes to the repository supplied by the environment.
