Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.22.2 - **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. The package is not concretely malicious, but its default runtime telemetry transmits host identity data to a vendor endpoint. The scanner's install-time and arbitrary exfiltration implications are overstated. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T12:46:07.884Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T12:47:18.028Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 271 ms - **AI review time:** 69364 ms - **Total time:** 70144 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:** Application startup sends limited host/project telemetry to the Modelence service unless opted out. Explicit CLI deployment uploads a project bundle. - **Trigger:** Starting a Modelence application or running modelence deploy - **Impact:** Discloses hostname, project metadata, and user-selected deployment contents to the configured service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/chunk-2VYAJGWJ.js, dist/bin/modelence.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T12:47:18.028Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** default startup telemetry and explicit deployment upload - **Rationale:** The package is not concretely malicious, but its default runtime telemetry transmits host identity data to a vendor endpoint. The scanner's install-time and arbitrary exfiltration implications are overstated. - **Files touched:** package.json, .modelence.env, .modelence/tmp/bundle.zip, .modelence/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.modelence.com/api/track/app-start, https://cloud.modelence.com/api/upload-bundle ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime startup telemetry posts project name, version, local hostname, and environment ID to Modelence Cloud by default., The CLI deploy command archives project files and uploads the bundle after an explicit deploy command. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared; prepare only changes Git hooks during source checkout., Telemetry has an explicit MODELENCE\_TRACKING\_ENABLED=false opt-out., The CLI's network and file operations are tied to named setup/deploy commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to modelence@0.22.2. - Review the evidence and your use of modelence@0.22.2 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.
