kubeagent@0.1.85
AI-powered Kubernetes management CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI automatically sends undisclosed runtime telemetry with a persistent machine ID to the package’s own service. The payload is limited to basic platform and version details, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Automatic CLI startup after command parsing, once per machine unless the sent marker already exists.
Impact
The publisher can associate CLI use across runs through a stable machine identifier and learn the runtime platform and version.
Mechanism
sendTelemetry builds a first-run event and POSTs it to the package service; no opt-out is evident in the reviewed source.
AI rationale
The CLI automatically sends undisclosed runtime telemetry with a persistent machine ID to the package’s own service. The payload is limited to basic platform and version details, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI invokes sendTelemetry(version) after argument parsing, so telemetry runs automatically when the CLI starts.
- The telemetry payload includes the CLI version, OS, architecture, Node version, and a persistent per-machine ID.
- Telemetry is sent to https://api.kubeagent.net/telemetry, the package’s own service.
Evidence against
- The payload contains no credentials, file contents, hostname, username, or project data.
- The telemetry is sent at runtime, not by an install hook.
- The flagged cluster health code performs Kubernetes DNS and event checks consistent with the package’s monitoring purpose.
