Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 2.0.2 - **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 active telemetry path forwards an existing service token without restricting its destination, warranting a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The inspected source does not establish malicious intent or an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-04T02:23:02.184Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-04T02:24:19.324Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 208 ms - **AI review time:** 76429 ms - **Total time:** 77140 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:** CLI exit telemetry forwards a stored Dasyl token to an unrestricted configurable destination. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no confirmed malicious attack. - **Trigger:** The CLI exits while a saved API token exists. - **Impact:** An unintended endpoint could receive the user's Dasyl credential and command metadata. - **Evidence paths:** bin/index.js, lib/send-telemetry.js, lib/commands/login.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T02:24:19.324Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A detached sender reads the stored token and includes it in a telemetry POST to DASYL\_API\_URL or the localhost default, without destination validation. - **Rationale:** The active telemetry path forwards an existing service token without restricting its destination, warranting a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The inspected source does not establish malicious intent or an install-time attack. - **Files touched:** .dasyl/config.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:3000, https://dasyl-ten.vercel.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json defines no install lifecycle hooks; the NestJS command performs user-invoked scaffolding., bin/index.js launches a detached telemetry sender when the CLI exits., The telemetry destination accepts unrestricted DASYL\_API\_URL values and defaults to http://localhost:3000., The sender reads the saved Dasyl API token from the user's configuration and proceeds whenever it exists., The telemetry POST includes that token in its Authorization header., The login command saves the user-supplied Dasyl token for subsequent use. - **Evidence against:** The credentials belong to Dasyl authentication, and the main authentication API defaults to a Dasyl host., No hidden package-controlled unrelated recipient or concrete malicious intent was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dasyl@2.0.2. - Review the evidence and your use of dasyl@2.0.2 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.
