Several commands accept secret-bearing options, which are forwarded to PostHog without redaction. - **Trigger:** Running blokctl commands with secret options such as login --token, generate --api-key, profile/watch/monitor --token - **Impact:** User access tokens and API keys can be sent to a third-party telemetry endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** dist/services/posthog.js, dist/services/commander.js, dist/commands/login/index.js, dist/commands/generate/index.js, dist/commands/profile/index.js, dist/commands/watch/index.js, dist/commands/monitor/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T00:37:45.164Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unredacted telemetry exfiltration of CLI args - **Attack narrative:** On CLI startup, analytics is constructed with default-enabled PostHog. Command wrappers pass the raw Commander options object to trackCommandExecution, and posthog.js serializes args into cli\_command event properties. Commands such as login --token, generate --api-key, watch/profile/monitor --token therefore can leak credentials to PostHog when run successfully. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms default-on telemetry captures unredacted command arguments that include credential-bearing flags. This is concrete credential/data exfiltration behavior, not merely package-aligned network use. Product guard normalized a non-low false-positive publish\_block request to warn-only suspicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.blok/blokctl.json, ~/.blok/token/token.enc - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com, https://runner.dac-us-east-1.deskree.com/public/deployment, https://runner-dev.dac-us-east-1.deskree.com/public/deployment ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/services/posthog.js enables PostHog telemetry by default to https://us.i.posthog.com., dist/services/posthog.js sends command args in cli\_command events without redaction., dist/commands/login/index.js passes options to telemetry; --token is included in options., dist/commands/generate/index.js passes options to telemetry; --api-key can include OPENAI/API credentials., dist/commands/profile/index.js, dist/commands/watch/index.js, and dist/commands/monitor/index.js expose --token and pass options to telemetry. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall/preinstall lifecycle hooks., dist/index.js child\_process usage is a CLI version check via npm view blokctl version., dist/commands/create/project.js git clone/install/file writes are user-invoked project scaffolding behavior., dist/services/observability-stack.real-prometheus.test.js docker/fetch usage is test-only and env-gated. ## Public findings ### 1.
