This is not triggered by npm installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T13:37:55.335Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T13:38:50.180Z - **Download time:** 1518 ms - **Static scan time:** 433 ms - **AI review time:** 52893 ms - **Total time:** 54845 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** At runtime, bundled cross-language helpers transmit telemetry containing a license key, hostname, OS, and diagnostic text. This is not triggered by npm installation. - **Trigger:** Runtime exception handling or enabled debug processing in bundled Python/Ruby/PHP runtimes. - **Impact:** License credentials and potentially sensitive exception/traceback content can leave the host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, index.js, addon/HypertubeNodejsRuntimeAddon.cpp, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/core/receiver/Receiver.py, Binaries/Ruby/utils/message\_helper.rb, Binaries/Ruby/utils/activation\_helper.rb - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T13:38:50.180Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** hard-coded telemetry POST carrying license and diagnostic data - **Rationale:** Source establishes runtime credential/diagnostic telemetry but not a stealthy install-time attack, persistence, or destructive behavior. Treat the unconsented secret-bearing telemetry as a publish warning. - **Files touched:** hypertube.lic, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py, Binaries/Ruby/utils/message\_helper.rb, Binaries/Php/hypertube/utils/messagehelper/MessageHelper.php - **Network endpoints:** https://dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Bundled telemetry posts hostname, OS, license key, and event/exception text to a fixed endpoint., Python receiver sends unhandled-exception tracebacks through that telemetry path., Ruby activation helper reads hypertube.lic, whose key is included in telemetry., Native addon dynamically loads package-shipped runtime libraries. - **Evidence against:** install.js only selects an existing prebuild or runs local node-gyp; no network or secret collection., index.js loads a platform-local .node addon and has no network client., No source evidence of AI-agent config writes, persistence, or destructive install actions. ## Public findings ### 1.
