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. Insight reporting is opt-in, but its payload includes an authentication token and user details sent to the vendor's insights endpoint without source-level disclosure of those fields. The lifecycle alert is not evidence of an install-time attack: postinstall conditionally imports a Husky script, while the package file list omits \`scripts\`. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:57:01.218Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:57:51.760Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 4543 ms - **AI review time:** 45741 ms - **Total time:** 50542 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:** Opt-in connection insights transmit authentication and user data; no attack was identified in default package installation or import behavior. - **Trigger:** An application explicitly sets \`enableInsights: true\`, then a connection failure or recovery event occurs. - **Impact:** Sensitive authentication and user data may be disclosed to the vendor's insights service without clear disclosure of the fields collected. - **Evidence paths:** src/connection.ts, src/insights.ts, src/client.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:57:51.760Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK posts insight data, including the token and user details, to the Stream insights endpoint. - **Rationale:** Insight reporting is opt-in, but its payload includes an authentication token and user details sent to the vendor's insights endpoint without source-level disclosure of those fields. The lifecycle alert is not evidence of an install-time attack: postinstall conditionally imports a Husky script, while the package file list omits \`scripts\`. - **Network endpoints:** https://chat-insights.getstream.io/insights/{insightType} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** With \`enableInsights\` enabled, connection failures and recovery events trigger insight reports., The insight payload includes the Stream token, user details, API key, device data and connection details., Reports are sent to \`chat-insights.getstream.io\`; the package source does not document the sensitive fields included. - **Evidence against:** The package is a JavaScript SDK for the Stream Chat API, and its normal networking supports that purpose., The postinstall script only imports a Husky setup file if it exists; the package file list includes \`dist\` and \`src\`, not \`scripts\`., Insight reporting is gated by the explicit \`enableInsights\` option and relevant connection events; it is not enabled by the shown defaults. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to stream-chat@9.54.1. - Review the evidence and your use of stream-chat@9.54.1 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.
