## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.1.0-rc.180
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The main concern is default-on runtime crash telemetry to Sentry: it sends scrubbed exception details and stacks without an explicit per-run prompt, so I classify it as suspicious telemetry. The flagged credential-redirection concern is not supported by the inspected credential flow, which scopes stored tokens to the selected API origin.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T23:24:16.419Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-31T23:24:56.416Z

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:** Default-on runtime crash telemetry may send diagnostic details to Sentry; no credential theft or command-output exfiltration was established.

- **Trigger:** A reportable CLI error, unless telemetry is disabled with RUNLOT\_TELEMETRY=0/false/off or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1.

- **Impact:** Diagnostic error details and stack information can leave the machine without an explicit per-run consent prompt.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T23:24:56.416Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI scrubs error text and command arguments, builds a Sentry envelope, and POSTs it to its configured Sentry ingestion endpoint.

- **Rationale:** The main concern is default-on runtime crash telemetry to Sentry: it sends scrubbed exception details and stacks without an explicit per-run prompt, so I classify it as suspicious telemetry. The flagged credential-redirection concern is not supported by the inspected credential flow, which scopes stored tokens to the selected API origin.

- **Network endpoints:** o4512108816105473.ingest.us.sentry.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Crash telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with RUNLOT\_TELEMETRY or DO\_NOT\_TRACK., On reportable errors, the CLI sends a Sentry event to o4512108816105473.ingest.us.sentry.io., The event includes scrubbed error messages and stacks, command metadata, and tags; arbitrary error details may still be sent.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its executable is the CLI at dist/index.js., Stored credentials are selected by matching the configured API origin, and login saves credentials for that API., Telemetry redacts common secret patterns and home-directory paths, and provides opt-out environment variables.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.180.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.180 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.
