Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 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:** 0.4.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. No malicious exfiltration or unrelated attack behavior was identified. However, runtime telemetry is sent automatically without disclosure or an apparent opt-out, so this warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T23:43:09.455Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T23:44:11.111Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 323 ms - **AI review time:** 60317 ms - **Total time:** 61656 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry reports device and session identifiers and operational events to the ZeroGPU registry. - **Trigger:** Worker startup creates the event client; it flushes periodically and also flushes on some events. - **Impact:** ZeroGPU receives worker identifiers and operational error details. The reviewed code does not show unrelated credential or project-data collection. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T23:44:11.111Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client posts event batches with device/session fields and the operator key to the configured registry’s /events endpoint. Events can contain clipped error messages and model/task metadata. - **Rationale:** No malicious exfiltration or unrelated attack behavior was identified. However, runtime telemetry is sent automatically without disclosure or an apparent opt-out, so this warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** configured ZG\_DATA\_DIR/event-buffer.json - **Network endpoints:** https://devices.zerogpu.ai/events, https://staging.devices.zerogpu.ai/events, https://dev.devices.zerogpu.ai/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Starting the worker creates an event client that flushes telemetry on a recurring timer., Telemetry sends device and session identifiers plus events; event records can include clipped error messages and model/task metadata., The telemetry endpoint uses the worker’s configured ZeroGPU registry host. The README describes joining that fleet with the operator key. - **Evidence against:** The package describes a worker that registers with ZeroGPU and serves local inference, matching its stated purpose., The operator key is sent to the ZeroGPU registry for device registration; no source evidence shows it being sent to an unrelated host., No install hook or unrelated credential collection was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zerogpu/worker@0.4.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @zerogpu/worker@0.4.0 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.
