## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.1.0-pre.4
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 login trace is transmitted automatically as part of a user-started login, and the packaged README does not clearly disclose that telemetry. The behavior is limited to the package’s own API and login purpose, 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:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T18:37:58.153Z

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:** Undisclosed runtime login telemetry is sent to Keyhand’s API during login runs.

- **Trigger:** A user starts a login through the SDK or CLI test command.

- **Impact:** Keyhand receives login activity metadata without a clear telemetry disclosure in the packaged README; session state is also transmitted as part of the product’s login and session reuse behavior.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/keyhand-CHqQyyQf.mjs, dist/src-DniIPvR8.mjs, dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T18:38:56.538Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The SDK builds a trace containing login host and normalized path information, then includes it in the lease release request. Successful runs may also send browser session state.

- **Rationale:** The login trace is transmitted automatically as part of a user-started login, and the packaged README does not clearly disclose that telemetry. The behavior is limited to the package’s own API and login purpose, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Network endpoints:** https://keyhand-api.kumarbharath63.workers.dev, User-configured KEYHAND\_API\_URL

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The SDK records login structure in a trace that its source labels telemetry., The trace can include the identity host and normalized page path; form structure is fingerprinted., At the end of a login run, the release body includes the trace and may include browser session state, then posts to the API., The CLI defaults to the Keyhand API host, with a user-configurable override., The package has no install lifecycle scripts; its declared scripts are build and typecheck.

- **Evidence against:** The README describes the package as managing browser-agent identities and secrets and running login checks., Trace transmission occurs as part of a login run initiated by the user, rather than on installation or import., The CLI reads the Keyhand API key through its sign-in flow, and the API URL can be configured.
