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. Setup enables user-level Claude Code telemetry as a side effect of project initialization or IDE configuration, creating a privacy-relevant capability across sessions. The inspected data flow is local, with no confirmed remote disclosure or other attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 80.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:01:51.860Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:04:04.910Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 3315 ms - **AI review time:** 128970 ms - **Total time:** 133050 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:** User-invoked setup can enable Claude Code token telemetry in user-level settings, affecting sessions across projects. No remote metrics transfer was identified in the inspected receiver path. - **Trigger:** A user runs project initialization with Claude Code detected or configures Claude Code through the add-IDE command. - **Impact:** Token, cost, and session usage metrics become available locally across Claude Code sessions without a separate telemetry prompt in these setup paths. - **Evidence paths:** dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js, dist/src/cli/commands/init-project.js, dist/src/cli/commands/add-ide.js, dist/src/local-mcp-server/otlp-metrics-receiver.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T00:04:04.910Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup adds OpenTelemetry environment settings directing Claude Code metrics to a local receiver, which stores session snapshots for the local FRAIM proxy. - **Rationale:** Setup enables user-level Claude Code telemetry as a side effect of project initialization or IDE configuration, creating a privacy-relevant capability across sessions. The inspected data flow is local, with no confirmed remote disclosure or other attack behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318, http://127.0.0.1:4318 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The telemetry helper configures Claude Code token metrics at a local endpoint and writes missing settings into the user's Claude settings file., Project initialization and the add-IDE command invoke this helper when Claude Code is detected or configured., The local receiver parses incoming metrics and stores snapshots by Claude session ID; its listener and snapshot fetch use loopback., The diagnostic target redacts known secrets from text, and the agent adapter paths point to FRAIM-owned project files. - **Evidence against:** The inspected metrics path uses a loopback receiver and local snapshot fetch; it does not show metrics being sent to a remote recipient., The reviewed IDE integration installs FRAIM-specific invocation files, while the adapter target paths are project-local FRAIM files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.286. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.286 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.
