base44@0.1.18
Base44 CLI - Unified interface for managing Base44 applications
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI has an active, default-on telemetry path that can transmit API request and response bodies on errors, creating a conditional data exposure risk. The inspected code does not establish intentional secret theft or unrelated-recipient exfiltration, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI encounters an uncaught or captured error while telemetry is enabled.
Impact
Sensitive values present in those bodies could be disclosed to the telemetry service.
Mechanism
The error reporter includes API request and response bodies in telemetry properties and captures the error through its PostHog client.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI sends telemetry to PostHog unless BASE44_DISABLE_TELEMETRY is set to "1".
- On API errors, telemetry properties include request and response bodies, which may contain sensitive data.
- The executable entrypoint runs the CLI; the manifest has no install lifecycle hooks.
Evidence against
- The inspected code reports errors and command context; it does not establish that secrets are deliberately collected.
- Telemetry is sent to the configured PostHog service, not an unrelated operator endpoint.
