Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 2.0.343 - **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 source supports a warning for an explicit setup command that silently enables user-wide agent telemetry. It does not establish malicious behavior or an external data transfer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:08:15.266Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:09:30.810Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 4341 ms - **AI review time:** 70437 ms - **Total time:** 75544 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:** Project setup can enable Claude Code token metrics in user-level settings, affecting sessions across projects. This is a privacy-sensitive configuration change without a separate affirmative telemetry prompt; the inspected source does not establish external transmission of those metrics. - **Trigger:** A user runs project setup while Claude Code is detected. - **Impact:** Future sessions may send token usage metrics to the local FRAIM receiver across projects. - **Evidence paths:** dist/src/cli/commands/init-project.js, dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js, dist/src/local-mcp-server/otlp-metrics-receiver.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T00:09:30.810Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup adds telemetry settings pointing Claude Code metrics to FRAIM's local receiver, if the settings are not already present. - **Rationale:** The source supports a warning for an explicit setup command that silently enables user-wide agent telemetry. It does not establish malicious behavior or an external data transfer. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, dist/src/cli/commands/init-project.js, dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js, dist/src/local-mcp-server/otlp-metrics-receiver.js - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** During \`fraim init-project\`, detecting Claude Code triggers setup of telemetry at user scope, affecting all projects., The setup enables Claude Code telemetry and directs metrics to a local endpoint., The settings writer adds missing values without an affirmative telemetry prompt; it preserves values that are already set., The local receiver processes Claude Code token usage metrics and binds to the loopback address., The inspected diagnostic and first-run locations concern diagnostic text handling and process errors; they do not establish a separate attack. - **Evidence against:** The settings change is triggered by an explicit project setup command., The telemetry destination is local, and the inspected source does not establish that these token metrics are sent to an external recipient., The package manifest identifies CLI entrypoints; the inspected source does not establish an install-time trigger. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.343. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.343 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.
