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 bundled Sonic AAR has analytics enabled and specifies a Mixpanel tracking endpoint, but the package documentation does not disclose this telemetry. The feature is gated behind an explicit animation option and an approved transaction, and the available AAR analysis does not reveal what is reported, so this warrants 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:** 2026-10-29T19:12:19.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T19:13:11.567Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 27 ms - **AI review time:** 51176 ms - **Total time:** 51722 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:** The bundled Sonic SDK enables analytics to a Mixpanel endpoint; the reporting behavior and payload are not established. - **Trigger:** An app initializes the SDK with scheme animations enabled and completes an approved transaction that launches the Sonic animation. - **Impact:** Runtime telemetry may be sent without disclosure in the package documentation; the data collected is unknown. - **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-YacICq/0-1c7d7b3b0724.txt, android/src/main/kotlin/za/co/synthesis/halo/sdkreactnativeplugin/HaloCallbacks.kt, dist/HaloSdk.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T19:13:11.567Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The AAR's version configuration sets analytics to enabled and specifies the Mixpanel tracking URL. - **Rationale:** The bundled Sonic AAR has analytics enabled and specifies a Mixpanel tracking endpoint, but the package documentation does not disclose this telemetry. The feature is gated behind an explicit animation option and an approved transaction, and the available AAR analysis does not reveal what is reported, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.mixpanel.com/track?verbose=1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The bundled Sonic AAR config enables analytics and names https://api.mixpanel.com/track?verbose=1., The plugin launches the Sonic animation only after an approved transaction when scheme animations are enabled., Scheme animations default to false, and the README does not disclose analytics. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; its only script is a TypeScript build., The animation path requires explicit SDK initialization, opting into animations, and an approved transaction., The analytics payload and actual Mixpanel reporting behavior could not be established from the available AAR analysis. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to halo-sdk-react-native@1.0.7. - Review the evidence and your use of halo-sdk-react-native@1.0.7 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.
