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 connection diagnostics are opt-in, but their payload includes the user token and other identifying details and the option declaration does not disclose those fields. This is a real sensitive-data risk, though the code gates transmission on enableInsights rather than sending it by default. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:57:36.644Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:58:41.571Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 4542 ms - **AI review time:** 60125 ms - **Total time:** 64927 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 diagnostics transmit sensitive authentication and user details to the vendor’s insights endpoint. - **Trigger:** A WebSocket connection failure when the client is configured with enableInsights: true. - **Impact:** Sensitive credentials and user information are disclosed to the insights endpoint; the option’s declaration does not explain the payload contents. - **Evidence paths:** src/connection.ts, src/insights.ts, src/types.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:58:41.571Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The failure handler builds an insight payload containing the API key, user token, user details and connection data, then posts it to the insights service. - **Rationale:** The connection diagnostics are opt-in, but their payload includes the user token and other identifying details and the option declaration does not disclose those fields. This is a real sensitive-data risk, though the code gates transmission on enableInsights rather than sending it by default. - **Network endpoints:** https://chat-insights.getstream.io/insights/\ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** When enableInsights is enabled, a failed WebSocket connection triggers an insights submission., The insights payload includes the API key and user token, along with user and connection details., The insights are posted to https://chat-insights.getstream.io/insights/\., The insight option is opt-in, but its type declaration does not describe the sensitive fields sent. - **Evidence against:** The manifest’s postinstall only conditionally imports scripts/install-husky.mjs; that file is absent from the package snapshot, which lists only dist and src., The connection failure path gates insight submission on enableInsights. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to stream-chat@9.54.3. - Review the evidence and your use of stream-chat@9.54.3 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.
