Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The reviewed behavior fits a Slack bot testing package: child processes are started through an explicit helper, runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and the CLI updater targets the package's configured release origin. The scanner's command-output and network flags reflect testing and product functions, not an identified exfiltration path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T19:36:26.965Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T19:37:36.147Z - **Download time:** 26267 ms - **Static scan time:** 1597 ms - **AI review time:** 41318 ms - **Total time:** 69182 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:** No attack was identified. The package provides a Slack testing emulator, an explicit bot process launcher, documented runtime telemetry, and a CLI updater. - **Trigger:** Importing the Slack testing library exposes its helpers; starting the CLI or calling startBot invokes the corresponding runtime behavior. - **Impact:** Expected package behavior: local testing and optional sharing, update retrieval when the CLI runs, and disclosed usage telemetry. No malicious data flow or unauthorized account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T19:37:36.147Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The updater contacts releases.portomatic.com for its runtime. Telemetry reports sanitized usage metadata to telemetry.portomatic.com with an opt-out. CLI emulator startup can use relay.portomatic.com for sharing; bot subprocess execution requires an explicit startBot call. - **Rationale:** The reviewed behavior fits a Slack bot testing package: child processes are started through an explicit helper, runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and the CLI updater targets the package's configured release origin. The scanner's command-output and network flags reflect testing and product functions, not an identified exfiltration path. - **Files touched:** ~/.portomatic/device\_id, ~/.portomatic/cli/ - **Network endpoints:** https://releases.portomatic.com, https://telemetry.portomatic.com/v1/events, https://relay.portomatic.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Slack bot testing tool and exposes a CLI plus a Slack testing-library entry point., The testing library starts a child process only when its startBot method is called with an explicit command., Telemetry discloses its usage-metadata collection and supports opt-out; the package documentation states that message content, tokens, and payloads are not sent., The CLI updater uses the package's release origin and supports PORTOMATIC\_NO\_UPDATE; it is separate from the package's import entry point. - **Evidence against:** The CLI checks for a release update when invoked and may download the selected runtime., The emulator sends runtime telemetry to the Portomatic telemetry service unless disabled., Starting the CLI's emulator may contact the Portomatic relay to enable sharing. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to portomatic@0.2.15. - Review the evidence and your use of portomatic@0.2.15 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.
