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 runtime reporting is explicitly gated by the optional enableInsights setting, so the source does not show automatic credential exfiltration by default. However, the opted-in diagnostics include the user's chat token and profile details, which is excessive for operational insights and merits a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:57:36.280Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:58:37.525Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 4649 ms - **AI review time:** 56079 ms - **Total time:** 61245 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 runtime diagnostics send chat credentials and user details to Stream’s insights collector. - **Trigger:** When the application enables Insights and a websocket connection fails or recovers; HTTP warmup failures also trigger reporting. - **Impact:** If enabled, a session token and user information are disclosed to the vendor’s diagnostics service beyond ordinary operational metrics. - **Evidence paths:** src/connection.ts, src/insights.ts, src/types.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:58:37.525Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK builds diagnostic payloads containing the chat token and user details, then posts them to the insights endpoint. - **Rationale:** The runtime reporting is explicitly gated by the optional enableInsights setting, so the source does not show automatic credential exfiltration by default. However, the opted-in diagnostics include the user's chat token and profile details, which is excessive for operational insights and merits a warning. - **Network endpoints:** https://chat-insights.getstream.io/insights/${insightType} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** When Insights are enabled, websocket failure and recovery paths send diagnostic payloads., The websocket diagnostic payload includes the chat token and user details., Diagnostics are posted to https://chat-insights.getstream.io/insights/${insightType}., Insights are gated by the optional enableInsights setting., The postinstall only imports scripts/install-husky.mjs if present; the package file allowlist contains only dist and src. - **Evidence against:** Insights are opt-in through enableInsights and are sent on diagnostic events, not continuously., The insights endpoint belongs to Stream, the SDK vendor., The conditional Husky postinstall target is not included in the package file allowlist. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to stream-chat@9.54.2. - Review the evidence and your use of stream-chat@9.54.2 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.
