## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 6 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:** 5.15.3
- **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 CLI dependency discloses runtime telemetry and provides an opt-out, but sends plugin options without filtering them, which can expose project configuration beyond the stated collection. This warrants a warning for telemetry overcollection; no install-time attack was identified.

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 CLI dependency sends runtime telemetry that includes plugin configuration options, which may contain sensitive project values despite the telemetry notice’s privacy claims.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the Kubb CLI command that reports a completed run; telemetry is enabled by default.

- **Impact:** Plugin configuration values could be disclosed to the Kubb telemetry endpoint beyond what the notice says is collected.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-dependency-evidence-c9d3992a-8a4f-4f52-8219-84f54542a5b8/0/npm-linux/dist/Telemetry-BTeqnqie.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c9d3992a-8a4f-4f52-8219-84f54542a5b8/0/npm-linux/dist/index.js

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI serializes plugin options into its telemetry payload and posts it to otlp.kubb.dev. DO\_NOT\_TRACK or KUBB\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY disables sending.

- **Rationale:** The CLI dependency discloses runtime telemetry and provides an opt-out, but sends plugin options without filtering them, which can expose project configuration beyond the stated collection. This warrants a warning for telemetry overcollection; no install-time attack was identified.

- **Network endpoints:** otlp.kubb.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI telemetry payload serializes each plugin’s complete options object, which can contain project configuration values., The CLI describes its telemetry as anonymous and says it collects no personal data or file contents, but the payload includes unfiltered plugin options., When the CLI runs, it sends telemetry to otlp.kubb.dev; users can disable it with DO\_NOT\_TRACK or KUBB\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY.

- **Evidence against:** The package manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script., The package’s library entry point only exports Kubb configuration helpers; telemetry is in the CLI dependency., The CLI displays a telemetry notice and provides an opt-out.
