Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.9.4 - **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 CLI enables runtime telemetry by default and reports app opens without the disclosure gate used for the desktop app. Because the inspected telemetry is limited to basic usage and platform metrics and goes to the package's own service, 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:** 2026-11-02T04:09:04.025Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:10:08.402Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 2342 ms - **AI review time:** 61532 ms - **Total time:** 64377 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, default-on runtime usage telemetry. - **Trigger:** An ordinary CLI invocation calls the app-open reporting path; queued events are sent when the reporting schedule allows. - **Impact:** The vendor can associate recurring usage events with an installation without informing CLI users first. The inspected data is limited to usage and platform metrics. - **Evidence paths:** dist/kanban.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T04:10:08.402Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Absent a saved preference, reporting is enabled. The CLI queues usage events with a persistent install ID and sends them to the package's telemetry service; the disclosure check shown applies to the desktop app surface, not the command surface. - **Rationale:** The CLI enables runtime telemetry by default and reports app opens without the disclosure gate used for the desktop app. Because the inspected telemetry is limited to basic usage and platform metrics and goes to the package's own service, this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** ${AI4KANBAN\_HOME || ~/.ai4kanban}/usage-queue.jsonl, ${AI4KANBAN\_HOME || ~/.ai4kanban}/usage-state.json, ${AI4KANBAN\_HOME || ~/.ai4kanban}/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://t.ai4kanban.dev/v1/batch ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Usage reporting defaults to enabled when the setting is absent., Ordinary CLI startup calls reportAppOpen; the disclosure gate applies only to the desktop app surface., The app-open event includes OS and architecture fields, and queued events are sent by POST to the package telemetry endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The reported fields shown are basic usage and platform metrics; the inspected telemetry path does not send provider credentials or project contents., The telemetry endpoint belongs to the package's own domain, and the CLI exposes a telemetry-off setting. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ai4kanban@0.9.4. - Review the evidence and your use of ai4kanban@0.9.4 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.
