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 automatic persistent telemetry is a concrete unconsented data-flow risk, and scanner coverage was incomplete. The inspected source does not establish malicious installation behavior or hidden code execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T22:13:18.880Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T22:15:24.053Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 621 ms - **AI review time:** 124041 ms - **Total time:** 125173 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:** Running the CLI automatically sends first-run telemetry containing a persistent machine identifier and basic host metadata. Explicit agent installation can grant Kubernetes remediation privileges. - **Trigger:** Run any kubeagent CLI command; separately, invoke kubeagent agent install and confirm it. - **Impact:** Vendor receives host telemetry; an approved installation can delete pods and update deployments. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/telemetry.js, dist/agent/install.js, dist/agent/manifest.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T22:15:24.053Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic telemetry transmission and explicitly confirmed Kubernetes agent deployment. - **Rationale:** The automatic persistent telemetry is a concrete unconsented data-flow risk, and scanner coverage was incomplete. The inspected source does not establish malicious installation behavior or hidden code execution. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.kubeagent/.machine-id, $HOME/.kubeagent/.telemetry-sent - **Network endpoints:** https://api.kubeagent.net/telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Every CLI invocation calls telemetry after parsing commands., The telemetry payload includes a stable machine identifier and host metadata sent to the vendor API., The package can install a cluster-wide role with pod deletion and deployment update permissions after explicit confirmation., The flagged detector source reads Kubernetes workload metadata; no hidden payload was found there, but incomplete scanner coverage prevents a clean verdict. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., No eval, VM, encoded payload loader, or runtime self-dependency was found., Cluster changes are behind an explicit agent install command and confirmation., Mutating diagnostic actions require approval unless explicitly allowlisted. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to kubeagent@0.1.58. - Review the evidence and your use of kubeagent@0.1.58 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.

High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = kubeagent@0.1.54 matchedIdentity = npm:a3ViZWFnZW50:0.1.54 similarity = 0.872 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 11. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Every CLI invocation calls telemetry after parsing commands. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript program.parse(); // Non-blocking update check — runs after command completes if (!isInClusterInvocation(process.argv)) checkForUpdate(); sendTelemetry(version); ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Path:** dist/telemetry.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The telemetry payload includes a stable machine identifier and host metadata sent to the vendor API.
