Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic install telemetry path is real, but the declared telemetry dependency's implementation is unavailable in the inspected snapshot. Its request destination and consent behavior therefore remain unresolved, so the source does not support either a clean finding or a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T18:06:25.817Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T18:09:25.548Z - **Download time:** 1797 ms - **Static scan time:** 2396 ms - **AI review time:** 175538 ms - **Total time:** 179731 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:** Installation automatically invokes a telemetry client and supplies it with environment-derived installation metadata. The available source does not establish where that data is sent or whether the client enforces an effective consent choice, so no concrete attack is confirmed. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The contents and recipient of any telemetry request cannot be verified from the available source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/install.mjs, products/slack/dist/src/telemetry/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T18:09:25.548Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook imports the telemetry dependency, emits an installation event with system and environment metadata, and flushes the client. The dependency implementation is unavailable in the inspected snapshot. - **Rationale:** The automatic install telemetry path is real, but the declared telemetry dependency's implementation is unavailable in the inspected snapshot. Its request destination and consent behavior therefore remain unresolved, so the source does not support either a clean finding or a confirmed attack. - **Files touched:** ~/.portomatic/npm-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest runs bin/install.mjs automatically after installation and declares @portomatic/telemetry as a bundled dependency., The install hook creates an installation telemetry client and submits operating system, architecture, Node version, environment-derived fields, and package manager data; it then flushes the client., The hook imports the telemetry implementation, but that dependency's implementation was unavailable in the inspected snapshot, so its destination, transmitted fields, and effective consent controls could not be verified. - **Evidence against:** The inspected hook submits installation metadata rather than Slack account credentials, and it records a local package version file., The telemetry client is unavailable in this snapshot, leaving the actual request destination and consent behavior unresolved. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to portomatic@0.3.68. - Review the evidence and your use of portomatic@0.3.68 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.
