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. Running the CLI automatically exports operational telemetry to a package-selected Honeycomb endpoint. No credential theft or install-time attack was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T19:12:43.941Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T19:14:13.046Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 629 ms - **AI review time:** 87972 ms - **Total time:** 89105 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:** Running the CLI automatically exports operational telemetry to a package-selected Honeycomb endpoint. No credential theft or install-time attack was confirmed. - **Trigger:** A user runs the copilot-api CLI. - **Impact:** Operational request metadata may be disclosed to the telemetry recipient; no confirmed secret transmission was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T19:14:13.046Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entrypoint starts OpenTelemetry trace, metric, and log exporters using the default remote endpoint. - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but automatic telemetry to a hard-coded external collector warrants a warning. Static inspection found no install hook or confirmed credential exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.honeycomb.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI entrypoint is the bundled main module, and the build process invokes an obfuscation step., The module defaults its OpenTelemetry exporter endpoint to Honeycomb., Startup creates and starts trace, metric, and log exporters to that endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The instrumentation excludes standard authorization, cookie, and API-key headers from traced request headers., No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to copilot-api-node20@0.43.3. - Review the evidence and your use of copilot-api-node20@0.43.3 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.
