Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 24 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:** 1.1308.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 postinstall hook reports bootstrap errors and their stacks to Snyk’s Sentry service by default, with an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected report path does not include credentials or project data, so this is suspicious install-time telemetry rather than malicious exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T15:47:54.212Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T15:49:10.545Z - **Download time:** 1773 ms - **Static scan time:** 9433 ms - **AI review time:** 65126 ms - **Total time:** 76333 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:** Default install-time error reporting sends a failure report to Snyk’s Sentry endpoint; no attack beyond this telemetry was identified. - **Trigger:** The postinstall bootstrap encounters an error, such as a failed CLI download. - **Impact:** Install failure details and stack information may be sent to Snyk’s Sentry service. The inspected code does not show credentials or project data being sent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, wrapper\_dist/bootstrap.js, wrapper\_dist/common.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T15:49:10.545Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bootstrap calls logError, which captures an error message and stack with Sentry when analytics is enabled; analytics is on by default. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook reports bootstrap errors and their stacks to Snyk’s Sentry service by default, with an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected report path does not include credentials or project data, so this is suspicious install-time telemetry rather than malicious exfiltration. - **Files touched:** wrapper\_dist/\, wrapper\_dist/\ - **Network endpoints:** o30291.ingest.sentry.io, downloads.snyk.io, static.snyk.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall script runs wrapper\_dist/bootstrap.js with the exec argument., If the install bootstrap fails, it calls common.logError with the error., logError sends the error message and stack to the configured Sentry endpoint when analytics is enabled., Analytics is enabled by default; two environment variables can disable it., The bootstrap downloads the CLI from Snyk release hosts and checks the downloaded file against a packaged SHA-256 value. - **Evidence against:** The reported telemetry is limited in the inspected code to install failures; no credentials, project files, or environment values are included in the reported error., The download hosts belong to Snyk, and the wrapper checks the binary checksum before accepting it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to snyk@1.1308.4. - Review the evidence and your use of snyk@1.1308.4 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.
