AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged entrypoint sends package-aligned, limited usage telemetry after a user-invoked scaffold, with an on-screen notice and opt-out controls. Inspected source does not support credential exfiltration or other attack behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI and scaffolding completes successfully.
Impact
No credential, project path, project name, or file content transfer was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI sends one event containing version, platform, CI category, and selected scaffold options; it displays a notice and provides opt-out variables.
AI rationale
The flagged entrypoint sends package-aligned, limited usage telemetry after a user-invoked scaffold, with an on-screen notice and opt-out controls. Inspected source does not support credential exfiltration or other attack behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and lists only build, development, test, and typecheck scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- The reviewed dependency entrypoints serve prompts, terminal styling, and command-line parsing.
- The telemetry payload contains CLI and Node versions, platform, CI category, interaction mode, and scaffold selections; it does not include project names, paths, file contents, or credentials.
- After a successful scaffold, the CLI sends one event to the package’s telemetry endpoint. It displays a notice and supports environment-variable opt-outs.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is enabled by default unless an opt-out variable is set.
