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. No malicious install behavior is confirmed. If the bundled Python runtime runs with debug enabled, it sends telemetry containing the host name, operating system, and license key. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T15:50:12.827Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T15:51:44.929Z - **Download time:** 1808 ms - **Static scan time:** 406 ms - **AI review time:** 89888 ms - **Total time:** 92102 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:** No malicious install behavior is confirmed. If the bundled Python runtime runs with debug enabled, it sends telemetry containing the host name, operating system, and license key. - **Trigger:** Running the bundled Python runtime with HYPERTUBE\_DEBUG=true. - **Impact:** A license key and host metadata may be disclosed to Azure telemetry. - **Evidence paths:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/core/interpreter/Interpreter.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T15:51:44.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Debug-gated telemetry posts runtime metadata and the license key. - **Rationale:** The install hook is package-aligned and has no observed downloader, persistence, or project-wide mutation. Debug-gated transmission of a license key is nevertheless a concrete credential disclosure risk. - **Files touched:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/core/interpreter/Interpreter.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py - **Network endpoints:** https://polandcentral-0.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/v2/track ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** When its bundled Python runtime runs with debug enabled, it posts the hostname, operating system, and license key to Azure telemetry., The package includes a compressed Java archive and native libraries whose internal behavior is not source-readable., Its install lifecycle can invoke local node-gyp compilation when no matching prebuild exists. - **Evidence against:** The installer exits when a supplied platform prebuild exists and contains no download or network operation., The Node entrypoint selects and loads only package-local platform binaries., The telemetry call is restricted to the explicit HYPERTUBE\_DEBUG mode. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hypertube-binaries@3.1.14. - Review the evidence and your use of hypertube-binaries@3.1.14 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.
