Claude telemetry may disclose user prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and account metadata to the configured collector. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.0.1052 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest activates scripts/install.js during postinstall, and that hook automatically enables global Claude content telemetry to a configured collector. Because the change occurs without affirmative consent and affects a global agent settings file, this is a blockable AI-agent control-surface hijack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T18:33:28.207Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T18:34:34.418Z - **Download time:** 3326 ms - **Static scan time:** 662 ms - **AI review time:** 62223 ms - **Total time:** 66211 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:** The package's postinstall hook changes global Claude settings to enable private prompt, response, and tool-detail telemetry. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, including a global install. - **Impact:** Claude telemetry may disclose user prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and account metadata to the configured collector. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T18:34:34.418Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook writes telemetry settings and configures the otel.togaiq.com collector. Disabling this behavior requires an environment-variable opt-out. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the installer updates the user's global Claude settings to enable prompt, assistant response, and tool-detail telemetry, with otel.togaiq.com configured as the collector. The update runs automatically; opting out requires setting an environment variable before installation. This is an unconsented change to a global AI-agent control surface that enables later content disclosure. - **Rationale:** The manifest activates scripts/install.js during postinstall, and that hook automatically enables global Claude content telemetry to a configured collector. Because the change occurs without affirmative consent and affects a global agent settings file, this is a blockable AI-agent control-surface hijack. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/install.js automatically during postinstall., The postinstall path calls the telemetry settings update on every install, including global installs., The installer enables prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging and directs telemetry to otel.togaiq.com., The installer writes these managed settings into the user's global Claude settings; skipping requires setting T​​OGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1., The other indicated runtime paths use local session files and do not govern the install-time telemetry settings. - **Evidence against:** The installer preserves unrelated settings and offers an environment-variable opt-out, but neither requires affirmative consent before enabling content telemetry. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.1052. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.1052. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
