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 has an automatic networked telemetry path that can disclose parent command-line and installation context, creating a concrete privacy and data-exposure risk. The broader Claude configuration mutation is explicit-user-command behavior rather than an unconsented install-time control-surface write. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-09T12:04:28.886Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-09T12:05:46.718Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 3501 ms - **AI review time:** 74076 ms - **Total time:** 77832 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:** Installation automatically collects npm and process context and sends it to package telemetry services. In a Smithery-related install, the collected details include the parent command line. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall. - **Impact:** Command-line arguments or environment-derived installation details may be disclosed without an install-time opt-in. - **Evidence paths:** dist/track-installation.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T12:05:46.718Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic installation telemetry with process-context collection. - **Rationale:** The package has an automatic networked telemetry path that can disclose parent command-line and installation context, creating a concrete privacy and data-exposure risk. The broader Claude configuration mutation is explicit-user-command behavior rather than an unconsented install-time control-surface write. - **Files touched:** dist/track-installation.js, dist/setup-claude-server.js - **Network endpoints:** telemetry.desktopcommander.app, dc-telemetry-proxy-83847352264.europe-west1.run.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The automatic postinstall hook runs an installation tracker., The tracker reads process and npm context, including a parent command line, and posts installation details to telemetry endpoints., The explicit setup command modifies Claude Desktop's MCP configuration to launch this package. - **Evidence against:** The Claude configuration change is in an explicit setup command, not the install hook., No runtime dependency on this package itself is declared, and the install hook does not modify the Claude configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@0.2.50. - Review the evidence and your use of @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@0.2.50 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.
