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 flagged process execution is part of an explicitly invoked bot-testing helper, and the CLI updater targets the package's own npm release. Runtime telemetry is documented, excludes messages and credentials, and can be disabled; the relay supports the package's shared-link feature. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T19:36:28.559Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T19:37:37.817Z - **Download time:** 11020 ms - **Static scan time:** 1710 ms - **AI review time:** 56528 ms - **Total time:** 69258 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 reviewed network and process activity supports the emulator's documented update, telemetry, bot-testing, and shared-link features. - **Trigger:** The updater runs when the CLI starts unless disabled; bot processes are started by an explicit testing API call; relay provisioning occurs when a shared link is created. - **Impact:** No source evidence showed credential theft, unrelated data collection, unauthorized account actions, or execution of unrelated remote code. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T19:37:37.817Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI checks for newer releases from the npm registry; telemetry sends documented usage events; the testing helper launches the requested bot command; the relay provisions a device for shared emulator access. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution is part of an explicitly invoked bot-testing helper, and the CLI updater targets the package's own npm release. Runtime telemetry is documented, excludes messages and credentials, and can be disabled; the relay supports the package's shared-link feature. - **Files touched:** ~/.portomatic/versions, ~/.portomatic/device.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org, https://telemetry.portomatic.com/v1/events, https://relay.portomatic.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Slack bot testing emulator and exposes its CLI and emulator/testing entry points., The CLI updater checks the npm registry for a newer portomatic release and installs that package into its own version cache., The testing helper starts a child process only when its startBot method is called, using emulator credentials and captured logs., Telemetry rows contain event metadata and a device identifier; package documentation says telemetry excludes messages and credentials and documents opt-out settings., The relay provisions a device with the Portomatic relay service to support shared emulator links. - **Evidence against:** The CLI performs an automatic update check by default and may install a newer release from the configured registry., Telemetry is enabled by default and sends usage events to telemetry.portomatic.com, with opt-out controls documented in the package., The shared-link relay contacts relay.portomatic.com and stores relay device credentials under the user's Portomatic home directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to portomatic@0.2.6. - Review the evidence and your use of portomatic@0.2.6 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.
