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 11 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:** 1.3.0 - **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. The CLI enables runtime telemetry by default and the package README does not disclose it. The reviewed code shows usage and device/session metadata collection, but no automatic transmission of credentials, file contents, or command arguments, 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:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T12:26:49.608Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T12:27:49.369Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 260 ms - **AI review time:** 58990 ms - **Total time:** 59761 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 telemetry is enabled by default. - **Trigger:** Starting the CLI or its web server, which initializes telemetry. - **Impact:** Usage and device metadata may be reported without users being told in the package README. - **Evidence paths:** dist/main.mjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T12:27:49.369Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The telemetry client sends usage events and device/session context to the configured Nexgen endpoint; config can disable telemetry. - **Rationale:** The CLI enables runtime telemetry by default and the package README does not disclose it. The reviewed code shows usage and device/session metadata collection, but no automatic transmission of credentials, file contents, or command arguments, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** https://ia.nexgen.systems ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI initializes runtime telemetry with telemetry enabled unless the user’s config sets telemetry to false., Telemetry uses a Nexgen-controlled endpoint and includes device, session, event, model, and region data., The package README search found no telemetry disclosure. - **Evidence against:** The manifest describes NexgenK as a terminal AI coding agent and declares no install lifecycle hooks., The reviewed telemetry code does not show collection of credentials, file contents, or command arguments. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nexgenk@1.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of nexgenk@1.3.0 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.
