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. The command-line executable automatically exports error diagnostics and operational telemetry to external services.

Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The command-line executable automatically exports error diagnostics and operational telemetry to external services. No user opt-in is required for the default error-reporting path. - **Trigger:** Running the copilot-api command and encountering a qualifying upstream error; telemetry begins during command startup. - **Impact:** Operational metadata and up to 600 characters of upstream error text can leave the host to package-configured recipients. - **Evidence paths:** dist/main.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T19:11:20.495Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The program constructs a diagnostic report containing error and runtime fields, posts it to its configured default endpoint, and starts trace, metric, and log exporters. - **Attack narrative:** On startup, the executable enables reporting by default and initializes external telemetry exporters. When an upstream error qualifies, it sends a structured report to a package-configured endpoint. That report includes route and model information, runtime and platform details, and a truncated upstream error message. This creates an automatic external data-export path not required to provide the local proxy service. - **Rationale:** The package contains automatic, default-on exports of diagnostic and telemetry data to external endpoints, including truncated upstream error text. This is a concrete unconsented data-export behavior in the active executable. - **Network endpoints:** https://copilot-api.barazany.dev/report, https://api.honeycomb.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The executable enables error reporting by default unless an environment variable disables it., It defines a default external error-report endpoint and sends structured reports there., Reports include upstream error text, route, model, platform, runtime, and timestamp., The executable starts OTLP trace, metric, and log exporters to a default telemetry service. - **Evidence against:** Sensitive request headers are excluded from traced header attributes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to copilot-api-node20@0.42.5. - Avoid installing copilot-api-node20@0.42.5. 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.
