Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — A one-time import credential may be disclosed to the telemetry host. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.2.6 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. By default, command failures send unredacted command options to the package’s telemetry host, and the CLI exposes a one-time import credential as an option. This creates a concrete credential disclosure path when a command fails. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T14:31:40.063Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T14:32:49.606Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 58 ms - **AI review time:** 69229 ms - **Total time:** 69543 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:** CLI error telemetry can send a user-supplied import key and other command data to the telemetry service. - **Trigger:** A CLI command fails while telemetry is enabled, which is the default. - **Impact:** A one-time import credential may be disclosed to the telemetry host. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T14:32:49.606Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI records command arguments and options in exception properties and submits the exception to PostHog without redacting the --token value. - **Attack narrative:** The CLI accepts a one-time import key through --token. Before running a command it records the command arguments and options; if an exception occurs, it sends those properties with exception telemetry to us.i.posthog.com. Telemetry is enabled by default, and the captured option is not redacted, so a failed import can disclose the key to the telemetry service. - **Rationale:** By default, command failures send unredacted command options to the package’s telemetry host, and the CLI exposes a one-time import credential as an option. This creates a concrete credential disclosure path when a command fails. - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The executable starts the CLI, which sends exception telemetry to https://us.i.posthog.com by default; telemetry is disabled only when BASE44\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY=1., Exception telemetry includes command arguments and options without redaction., The CLI accepts a one-time import key through the --token option, so a command failure can expose that credential in telemetry., The CLI captures exceptions during command parsing and sends them with the collected properties. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hooks., The package is presented as a CLI for managing Base44 applications, and its normal API traffic is consistent with that purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to base44@0.2.6. - Avoid installing base44@0.2.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
