Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s CLI and available dependencies were inspected, and no concrete malicious behavior was confirmed. The active mastra@1.35.0 dependency source is unresolved, so its analytics and authentication behavior remains unverified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T12:00:52.517Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T12:01:31.487Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 40 ms - **AI review time:** 38425 ms - **Total time:** 38970 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:** No concrete attack was established in the inspected package source. The active Mastra dependency includes analytics and authentication modules whose source was unavailable for this review. - **Trigger:** Running the create-factory CLI invokes its analytics and project setup flow. - **Impact:** The unresolved dependency prevents confirming what those APIs do with runtime data or credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T12:01:31.487Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI calls Mastra analytics and authentication APIs; their dependency implementation could not be examined. - **Rationale:** The package’s CLI and available dependencies were inspected, and no concrete malicious behavior was confirmed. The active mastra@1.35.0 dependency source is unresolved, so its analytics and authentication behavior remains unverified. - **Network endpoints:** https://us.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares mastra@1.35.0, and dist/index.js imports its analytics and authentication modules; the dependency behavior could not be verified from the available source., The CLI initializes PostHog analytics and tracks command execution when the CLI action runs; inspected source does not establish a concrete attack. - **Evidence against:** The inspected telemetry call passes command options such as platform choice, organization presence, and region; it is reached through the CLI action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to create-factory@0.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of create-factory@0.3.0 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.
