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 setup commands enable token telemetry by changing user-wide Claude settings, with no separate telemetry confirmation in the inspected path. The receiver is loopback-only and handles usage metrics, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:09:36.105Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:11:47.871Z - **Download time:** 781 ms - **Static scan time:** 4748 ms - **AI review time:** 126236 ms - **Total time:** 131766 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 FRAIM setup enables Claude token telemetry in user-level settings, affecting sessions across projects. The inspected receiver is loopback-only and handles usage metrics; the source does not establish prompt or credential export. - **Trigger:** The user runs \`fraim init-project\` when Claude Code is detected, or configures Claude Code through \`add-ide\`. - **Impact:** Claude usage metrics can be collected across projects without a separate telemetry confirmation in the inspected setup path; no credential theft or broader agent control abuse was established. - **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:** 2026-10-20T00:11:47.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup adds telemetry environment settings to \`~/.claude/settings.json\` when absent, enabling token metrics to be sent to the local FRAIM receiver. - **Rationale:** Explicit setup commands enable token telemetry by changing user-wide Claude settings, with no separate telemetry confirmation in the inspected path. The receiver is loopback-only and handles usage metrics, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318, http://127.0.0.1:${port} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** \`init-project\` and Claude Code setup through \`add-ide\` invoke telemetry configuration; the manifest ends without a scripts section., The helper adds missing telemetry settings to \`~/.claude/settings.json\` and writes the file; the settings enable token telemetry and point to a local receiver., \`init-project\` enables this at the user level, applying it across projects., The receiver extracts token counts, cost, session identifiers, and model metadata from metrics., The receiver binds to \`127.0.0.1\`; other inspected integration files install FRAIM-named agent files, while the flagged diagnostic code redacts known secrets and the first-run process uses no shell. - **Evidence against:** The inspected telemetry receiver handles usage metrics and listens locally; the inspected path does not establish prompt or credential export to an outside recipient., The telemetry mutation is reached through setup commands, not an npm install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.351. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.351 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.
