runlot@0.1.0-rc.178
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner flags resolve to normal CLI behavior: login stores a session for the selected API, while crash reporting is disclosed and can be disabled. I found no evidence of credential theft or unrelated command-output exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user invokes the CLI; login requires the explicit login command, and crash reporting occurs for eligible command errors when telemetry is enabled.
Impact
Expected CLI authentication and diagnostics; no malicious credential redirection or command-output exfiltration was identified.
Mechanism
Login uses the selected Runlot API and stores its session under that API's origin. Disclosed crash reports go to Sentry and have command arguments and secrets scrubbed.
AI rationale
The scanner flags resolve to normal CLI behavior: login stores a session for the selected API, while crash reporting is disclosed and can be disabled. I found no evidence of credential theft or unrelated command-output exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI and declares no install lifecycle hooks.
- The default API is https://dash.runlot.io; a different API is selected through an explicit --api flag or RUNLOT_API_URL setting.
- Credentials are saved after the explicit login command and associated with the selected API origin.
- Crash reports are disclosed, can be disabled with RUNLOT_TELEMETRY=0, and command arguments and secrets are described as stripped before sending.
Evidence against
- The flagged process execution supports CLI build and project tasks; I found no evidence that it sends command output to an unrelated host.
- The credential flow uses a Runlot session returned by the selected API; I found no fixed unofficial credential gateway.
