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:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.2.3 - **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 source confirms default error telemetry to PostHog that can include user and request data, with an environment-variable opt-out. This is a real conditional data exposure, but the inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T16:02:03.213Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T16:03:26.004Z - **Download time:** 3586 ms - **Static scan time:** 51 ms - **AI review time:** 79153 ms - **Total time:** 82791 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:** The CLI sends diagnostic data to PostHog when it captures an error. The data can include account details, command arguments, the working directory, and API request or response bodies; the source does not establish malicious intent. - **Trigger:** A CLI command error or an uncaught process error while telemetry is enabled. - **Impact:** Diagnostic data, including potentially sensitive request content, may be disclosed to the telemetry service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T16:03:26.004Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The reporter builds error properties and submits them to https://us.i.posthog.com; telemetry is enabled unless BASE44\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY is set to 1. - **Rationale:** The source confirms default error telemetry to PostHog that can include user and request data, with an environment-variable opt-out. This is a real conditional data exposure, but the inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack. - **Files touched:** dist/cli/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI enables PostHog reporting by default; setting BASE44\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY=1 disables it., On command errors, the reporter sends diagnostics that can include account details, command arguments, working directory, and API request and response bodies., API errors retain request bodies, which are included in the telemetry properties. - **Evidence against:** The report is sent only when an error is captured, and the source provides an environment-variable opt-out., The inspected package manifest has no npm lifecycle hook; the observed reporting is CLI runtime behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to base44@0.2.3. - Review the evidence and your use of base44@0.2.3 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.
