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 13 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.1.82 - **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 daemon automatically sends diagnostic telemetry with runner-linked heartbeats, and the package documentation does not disclose this reporting or show a way to disable it. The inspected payload is limited to status and runtime details, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T00:08:20.022Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T00:09:27.063Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 2089 ms - **AI review time:** 64430 ms - **Total time:** 67041 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:** Undisclosed runtime diagnostic telemetry is sent with daemon heartbeats. - **Trigger:** Starting the daemon; checks repeat every six hours and their results are included in heartbeats. - **Impact:** The Gateway can associate local diagnostic and runtime details with a runner; the inspected fields do not include credentials or project content. - **Evidence paths:** dist/src/daemon/runtime.js, dist/src/daemon/self-check-monitor.js, dist/src/safety/self-checks.js, dist/src/config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T00:09:27.063Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package reports local tool and hook status, Node details, and failure reasons alongside a device fingerprint. - **Rationale:** The daemon automatically sends diagnostic telemetry with runner-linked heartbeats, and the package documentation does not disclose this reporting or show a way to disable it. The inspected payload is limited to status and runtime details, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.dev.service.ai-gateway.laravelvapor.org/api/v1/web/ai-gateway/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Starting the daemon starts a self-check monitor that runs checks automatically and repeats them every six hours., The report includes local tool and hook status, Node kind and version, and failure reasons., The daemon adds self-checks and a device fingerprint to its heartbeat payload., The default destination is the AI Gateway endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The reported fields are bounded diagnostics rather than credentials, prompts, or project contents., The manifest shows build and explicit CLI scripts, with no install lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.82. - Review the evidence and your use of mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.82 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.
