@vouchfor/embeds@8.7.1
AI Security Review
scanned 19h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe default tracking flow sends page identifying details alongside embed analytics to the package’s service, making this undisclosed runtime telemetry. The behavior is tied to the embed’s purpose and can be disabled, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A tracked embed event; tracking is enabled by default and can be disabled with `disableTracking`.
Impact
The service receives embed activity and identifying page context without an explicit opt-in in the inspected source.
Mechanism
The component batches events and sends them with generated IDs and reporting metadata, including the current URL and document referrer, using `navigator.sendBeacon`.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Default runtime tracking sends batched embed events and reporting metadata, including the page URL and referrer, to the package’s public API.
- Tracking can be disabled with the component’s `disableTracking` property, but it defaults to false.
- The package has no install hook; its only lifecycle script is `prepublishOnly`, which runs the build.
Evidence against
- The entry point is a browser embed library, and its API requests fetch vouches and templates using the supplied API key.
- Tracking events are associated with embed activity and sent to the package’s own API; no unrelated collector or credential theft was identified.
