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. Explicit CLI setup enables telemetry globally for Claude Code without a separate telemetry consent step, so a warning is warranted for agent configuration capability. The inspected receiver is loopback-bound and handles token and cost metrics; the source does not establish external credential or prompt export. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:08:04.999Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:09:44.409Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 4313 ms - **AI review time:** 94578 ms - **Total time:** 99410 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:** Explicit CLI setup can enable Claude Code token telemetry in the user-level configuration, affecting sessions across projects. This creates a global agent configuration and metrics-collection risk; no unrelated recipient was established. - **Trigger:** Running \`fraim init-project\` when Claude Code is detected, or adding Claude Code through \`fraim add-ide\`. - **Impact:** Claude Code token and cost metrics may be collected across projects after setup without a separate telemetry consent step in the inspected path. - **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:** 2026-10-20T00:09:44.409Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI adds missing telemetry settings to \`~/.claude/settings.json\`, directing OTLP metrics to a FRAIM receiver bound to loopback, which stores token and cost snapshots by session. - **Rationale:** Explicit CLI setup enables telemetry globally for Claude Code without a separate telemetry consent step, so a warning is warranted for agent configuration capability. The inspected receiver is loopback-bound and handles token and cost metrics; the source does not establish external credential or prompt export. - **Files touched:** 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, dist/src/local-mcp-server/stdio-server.js, ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318, http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes a CLI and has no lifecycle scripts., Running \`fraim init-project\` with Claude Code detected enables telemetry in user-level settings, which applies across projects., The helper enables Claude telemetry and points metrics to localhost; it adds settings only when the keys are absent., The receiver extracts token and cost metrics, stores session snapshots, and binds to loopback., The diagnostic excerpt redacts secret material, and the first-run process runner disables shell execution. - **Evidence against:** Telemetry setup is triggered by explicit CLI commands, not npm installation., Inspected telemetry code collects token and cost metrics through a loopback receiver; it does not establish export to an unrelated external recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.341. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.341 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.
