## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 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:** 2.0.8
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 package sends default runtime telemetry from explicit CLI commands without consistently disclosing it at the point of collection. The events are coarse and go to the package’s own API, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T06:25:50.589Z

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:** Default runtime telemetry is sent without a clear disclosure during some triggering commands.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the login, setup, or doctor command while telemetry is enabled; telemetry is enabled by default outside CI.

- **Impact:** The package reports coarse product usage associated with the authenticated Fudge session; this is an undisclosed runtime telemetry risk.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/ops/telemetry.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T06:26:36.105Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI sends event data to the Fudge API’s analytics endpoint and includes the Fudge session token in the request headers.

- **Rationale:** The package sends default runtime telemetry from explicit CLI commands without consistently disclosing it at the point of collection. The events are coarse and go to the package’s own API, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.withfudge.com/analytics/cli/events

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Runtime telemetry is enabled by default for ordinary non-CI use unless disabled by a saved preference or environment setting., The login, setup, and doctor commands send telemetry automatically after those commands run., Telemetry requests go to the Fudge API and include the Fudge session token plus coarse event, version, platform, and runtime fields., The CLI offers telemetry status and disable controls, but login and doctor do not show the user telemetry details when sending events.

- **Evidence against:** Telemetry events contain coarse product events and runtime fields; the source says they exclude CozoScript, parameters, and result content., The telemetry endpoint is part of the package’s own Fudge API, and the CLI provides disable controls., Workspace token creation and npm installation occur through explicit workspace commands, not automatically on install or import., The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
