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 CLI enables user-level token telemetry as part of IDE setup without a separate telemetry consent step, creating a concrete privacy concern across projects. The inspected recipient is FRAIM’s analytics service, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:08:29.405Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:10:46.849Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 4537 ms - **AI review time:** 131887 ms - **Total time:** 137444 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 setup enables user-level Claude Code token telemetry across projects without a separate telemetry consent step. This creates a privacy risk, though the inspected flow does not establish credential theft or prompt-content collection. - **Trigger:** Run \`fraim init-project\` with Claude Code detected, or add Claude Code through \`fraim add-ide\`. - **Impact:** Claude Code token usage metrics may be collected across projects and sent to FRAIM analytics. - **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, dist/src/local-mcp-server/usage-collector.js, dist/src/local-mcp-server/stdio-server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T00:10:46.849Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup writes missing telemetry variables to \`~/.claude/settings.json\`; a local receiver accepts metrics and FRAIM analytics events are sent to the configured FRAIM service. - **Rationale:** The CLI enables user-level token telemetry as part of IDE setup without a separate telemetry consent step, creating a concrete privacy concern across projects. The inspected recipient is FRAIM’s analytics service, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318, https://fraim.wellnessatwork.me/api/analytics/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** \`init-project\` and \`add-ide\` enable Claude Code telemetry when Claude Code is detected or selected, without a separate telemetry consent step., The setup adds telemetry environment variables to the user-level Claude settings file only when those keys are absent, enabling metrics export across projects., A local loopback receiver accepts metrics, and the usage collector sends analytics events to FRAIM’s configured service. - **Evidence against:** The change is reached through explicit FRAIM CLI setup commands, and the configured telemetry endpoint is local; the inspected analytics recipient is FRAIM’s service., The two additional runtime locations concern diagnostic redaction and process-result handling; neither establishes an attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.346. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.346 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.
