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 15 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:** 0.11.0 - **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. The package sends runtime usage telemetry by default, including a generated install ID and run metadata, without disclosure in its shipped README. The limited fields and available opt-out make this suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T04:10:44.015Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:12:11.641Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 2710 ms - **AI review time:** 84412 ms - **Total time:** 87626 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 usage telemetry is enabled by default. - **Trigger:** Normal CLI startup and usage events while reporting remains enabled. - **Impact:** The vendor can receive pseudonymous usage and run metadata without an opt-in. The inspected telemetry flow does not include credentials or user content. - **Evidence paths:** dist/kanban.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T04:12:11.641Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI queues usage events with a generated install ID and sends batches by POST to the configured usage endpoint; reporting can be turned off with a package command. - **Rationale:** The package sends runtime usage telemetry by default, including a generated install ID and run metadata, without disclosure in its shipped README. The limited fields and available opt-out make this suspicious telemetry rather than credential exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.ai4kanban.dev, AI4KANBAN\_USAGE\_URL (user-configurable) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Usage reporting defaults to on when no setting exists., Normal CLI startup calls reportAppOpen(), which queues telemetry unless reporting is disabled., Run events include a harness name, custom-agent flag, and limited model information., Queued usage events are sent by POST to the configured usage endpoint., The package provides a command to turn usage reporting off, but the shipped README does not disclose the default reporting. - **Evidence against:** The reported fields are usage metadata and a generated install ID; the inspected flow does not send credentials, prompts, code, or command output., The package has no install or postinstall hook; its prepare and prepublishOnly scripts are build-related., Provider keys are configured for the corresponding agent run, consistent with the package’s purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ai4kanban@0.11.0. - Review the evidence and your use of ai4kanban@0.11.0 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.
