runlot@0.1.0-rc.185
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends default-on crash telemetry to Sentry, while its disclosure notice only appears when stderr is a TTY. The arguments are scrubbed and the reviewed code does not establish credential exfiltration, so this warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry in non-TTY use.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A runtime crash that passes the reportability check; telemetry is enabled unless opted out.
Impact
Undisclosed runtime telemetry for non-TTY users; reviewed evidence does not show credential exfiltration.
Mechanism
The CLI posts crash exception and stack details plus scrubbed command metadata to Sentry. The notice is shown only when stderr is a TTY.
AI rationale
The CLI sends default-on crash telemetry to Sentry, while its disclosure notice only appears when stderr is a TTY. The arguments are scrubbed and the reviewed code does not establish credential exfiltration, so this warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry in non-TTY use.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI entry point is dist/index.js, where crash reporting is reachable at runtime.
- Crash reports are sent to the fixed Sentry endpoint at o4512108816105473.ingest.us.sentry.io.
- Reports include exception details, stack traces, command metadata, runtime version, and platform.
- Telemetry is enabled by default, but its notice is skipped when stderr is not a TTY.
Evidence against
- Command arguments are reduced to recognized flags and command names; other values are redacted.
- The notice describes anonymous crash reports and provides RUNLOT_TELEMETRY=0 as an opt-out.
- Credentials are selected for the configured API origin, and the reviewed code did not establish credential forwarding to Sentry.
