nexgenr@1.1.2
NexgenR — terminal AI coding agent
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends default runtime telemetry to its own service and provides an opt-out, but the package README does not disclose the collection. The reviewed context contains ordinary telemetry fields, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
CLI startup, unless telemetry is disabled in configuration or with NEXGENR_DISABLE_TELEMETRY.
Impact
The vendor receives runtime usage and device context without documented disclosure in the package README; no credential or source-content exfiltration was identified in the reviewed telemetry path.
Mechanism
The CLI sends telemetry events containing a device ID, session ID, event properties, and app/runtime context to NexgenR's telemetry service. Failed sends can be saved under the user's home directory for retry.
AI rationale
The CLI sends default runtime telemetry to its own service and provides an opt-out, but the package README does not disclose the collection. The reviewed context contains ordinary telemetry fields, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI initializes telemetry by default unless telemetry is disabled in configuration; it targets the package's telemetry endpoint and may attach a cached NexgenR access token.
- The telemetry context includes app and client versions, runtime, platform, architecture, Node and OS versions, CI status, locale, terminal, UI mode, and model.
- Telemetry events are sent with a device ID and session ID; the bundled code provides an environment-variable opt-out, but the package README does not describe this runtime telemetry.
Evidence against
- The endpoint is hosted by NexgenR at ia.nexgen.systems, rather than an unrelated collector.
- The device ID is generated locally on first launch, and the observed context fields are ordinary telemetry fields; no prompt, code, credential, or tool output is shown in the reviewed telemetry context.
- The environment variable NEXGENR_DISABLE_TELEMETRY can disable telemetry.
