runlot@0.1.0-rc.190
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s automatic crash reporting sends exception messages, stacks, and command arguments to Sentry by default, which is undisclosed runtime telemetry carrying identifying details. The reviewed credential lookup is scoped to the configured API origin, and I found no support for the scanner’s alleged credential redirection or remote code execution.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
An eligible non-API error occurs while running the CLI; reporting is enabled by default.
Impact
Command arguments or error details could reveal user or project information to the telemetry service.
Mechanism
The CLI sends scrubbed command arguments, exception messages, and stack traces to its fixed Sentry endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The `runlot` CLI is exposed through `dist/index.js`.
- Runtime error reporting is enabled by default unless `RUNLOT_TELEMETRY` or `DO_NOT_TRACK` disables it.
- On eligible errors, the report includes exception messages and stacks plus scrubbed command arguments, then sends them to Sentry.
- The CLI invokes this reporting path automatically for non-API errors.
Evidence against
- Saved Runlot credentials are selected by matching their API origin to the configured API URL.
- The package describes itself as a CLI for deploying apps and managing PostgreSQL, consistent with its command execution and network activity.
