Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 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:** 0.2.8 - **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 extension automatically sends runtime usage telemetry to a vendor DevOps sink when enabled by server-provided configuration, with no user-facing disclosure or opt-out found in the reviewed package source. The observed event is limited to startup telemetry, so 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:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T03:26:58.936Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T03:28:19.290Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2706 ms - **AI review time:** 77137 ms - **Total time:** 80354 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 runtime telemetry from the browser extension. - **Trigger:** Extension service-worker startup, when the local server supplies enabled DevOps sink settings. - **Impact:** The vendor can observe extension usage associated with an installation ID. The inspected startup event does not include credentials or page contents. - **Evidence paths:** dist/assets/extension/background.js, dist/assets/extension/background.js.map - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T03:28:19.290Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The extension registers or reuses an installation ID and sends usage events and logs to the configured sink; the embedded source map names dev-ops.hiredchina.com as the endpoint. - **Rationale:** The extension automatically sends runtime usage telemetry to a vendor DevOps sink when enabled by server-provided configuration, with no user-facing disclosure or opt-out found in the reviewed package source. The observed event is limited to startup telemetry, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:34568/api/config, https://dev-ops.hiredchina.com/v1/register, https://dev-ops.hiredchina.com/usagesink/ingest, https://dev-ops.hiredchina.com/logsink/ingest, configured telemetry endpoint: /v1/register, /usagesink/ingest, /logsink/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The extension reads its DevOps telemetry settings from the local server and skips the sink unless it is enabled and has an endpoint and API key., When the extension service worker starts, it automatically records a \`plugin\` / \`sw.boot\` event and a readiness log., Usage uploads include an installation ID and event fields; the embedded source map documents \`https://dev-ops.hiredchina.com\` as the sink endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The observed telemetry event is a service-worker startup event; no browser credentials or page contents were seen in its payload., The CLI is presented as a browser-control tool, and its extension connects to its local server for browser commands., The shell-based installer is reached through the explicit external CLI install command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to chromepilot@0.2.8. - Review the evidence and your use of chromepilot@0.2.8 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.
