Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 1.27.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T21:29:31.459Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T21:31:40.358Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 4755 ms - **AI review time:** 123625 ms - **Total time:** 128899 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:** Explicit CLI initialization can add a Mastra MCP server to project or global editor configuration. Executing the CLI also starts opt-out telemetry. - **Trigger:** Run the mastra CLI; use init with an MCP editor option or choose that setup interactively. - **Impact:** A user-selected editor can be configured to run an npx package, and CLI usage metadata is sent to PostHog. - **Evidence paths:** dist/analytics-CeDc63iC.js, dist/index.js, dist/credentials-CdxijtI9.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T21:31:40.358Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit MCP configuration mutation and default CLI telemetry. - **Rationale:** No malicious install hook, covert payload, or secret theft was established by source inspection. The explicit global MCP configuration capability and default telemetry warrant a warning under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** .cursor/mcp.json, .codeium/windsurf/mcp\_config.json, .gemini/antigravity/mcp\_config.json, .config/Code/User/settings.json, .mastra/analytics.json, .mastra/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** https://us.posthog.com, https://platform.mastra.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The init flow can write an MCP configuration that launches an npx-hosted Mastra server, including global editor configurations., CLI execution enables telemetry unless the user sets its disabling environment variable; it persists identifiers and sends session and command events., The authentication command stores refresh-capable credentials under the user’s Mastra directory. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., MCP configuration writes occur only after the user invokes init and selects or supplies an MCP editor., Authentication requests target the package’s Mastra platform endpoint; no source evidence shows unrelated secret harvesting or covert exfiltration., The inspected large studio asset is readable bundled JavaScript, not an opaque binary payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mastra@1.27.0. - Review the evidence and your use of mastra@1.27.0 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.
