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:** 0.5.0 - **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 operator key is used with the worker’s own ZeroGPU service, and the package has no install-time hook. However, starting the worker automatically uploads operational events that can include model identifiers and error messages, with no documented opt-out found in the inspected package materials; this meets the warning-only telemetry criterion. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T23:43:09.678Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T23:44:12.159Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 330 ms - **AI review time:** 61370 ms - **Total time:** 62481 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 operational telemetry is sent when the worker runs. - **Trigger:** Running the worker starts its lifecycle; events are also flushed periodically while it runs. - **Impact:** This discloses operational and model metadata to the service without a documented telemetry opt-out in the inspected package materials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T23:44:12.159Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The worker POSTs event batches to the configured ZeroGPU events endpoint, including device and session identifiers and event fields such as model IDs and error messages. - **Rationale:** The operator key is used with the worker’s own ZeroGPU service, and the package has no install-time hook. However, starting the worker automatically uploads operational events that can include model identifiers and error messages, with no documented opt-out found in the inspected package materials; this meets the warning-only telemetry criterion. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, /data/event-buffer.json (default; under ZG\_DATA\_DIR) - **Network endpoints:** https://devices.zerogpu.ai/events, https://staging.devices.zerogpu.ai/events, https://dev.devices.zerogpu.ai/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Starting the worker starts its lifecycle and emits runtime events; the CLI entrypoint invokes the worker when run directly., The telemetry collector schedules event flushing every 10 seconds., Event records can include error messages, model IDs and versions, task types, durations, byte counts, and event data., Event batches are POSTed with the operator key and device/session identifiers to the worker’s configured events endpoint., The default service hosts are ZeroGPU’s production, staging, and development device services. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is not an install hook., The operator key is read for the worker’s stated purpose of joining the ZeroGPU service., No evidence found that prompts, model outputs, or unrelated service credentials are sent in telemetry. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zerogpu/worker@0.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @zerogpu/worker@0.5.0 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.
