kubeagent@0.1.86
AI-powered Kubernetes management CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI silently sends limited first-run telemetry on each machine, with no disclosure or opt-out found in the package. The payload does not include credentials or user content, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI; the telemetry call follows command parsing.
Impact
The publisher receives a stable per-machine identifier and basic runtime metadata without disclosed consent or an apparent opt-out.
Mechanism
Sends a first-run event containing version, platform, runtime, and a persistent machine ID to https://api.kubeagent.net/telemetry.
AI rationale
The CLI silently sends limited first-run telemetry on each machine, with no disclosure or opt-out found in the package. The payload does not include credentials or user content, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI calls sendTelemetry(version) automatically after parsing every command invocation.
- The first-run event sends CLI version, OS, architecture, Node version, and a persistent machine ID to api.kubeagent.net.
- Telemetry is sent without a consent check in the sending function; no README telemetry disclosure or opt-out reference was found.
Evidence against
- The event contains runtime and platform metadata plus a random machine ID, not credentials, paths, or user-provided content.
- Telemetry sends only once per machine and marks delivery after a successful response.
- The monitored workload checks use cluster data to produce diagnostic findings.
