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 package performs default runtime telemetry after successful payments, sending a merchant wallet, settlement transaction identifier, and resource URL to its Intel service. The opt-out and omission of response bodies reduce the risk, but the undisclosed collection warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:25:17.639Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T01:26:08.357Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 882 ms - **AI review time:** 49328 ms - **Total time:** 50718 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry sends payment and resource metadata to the package’s Intel service. - **Trigger:** A user runs the safe-fetch flow and the payment succeeds. - **Impact:** The service receives transaction identifiers and the requested resource URL, which may contain sensitive query data. - **Evidence paths:** dist/safe-fetch.js, dist/delivery-capture.js, dist/config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:26:08.357Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package posts the merchant wallet, settlement transaction identifier, resource URL, network, and delivery metadata. Capture is on by default, with an opt-out. - **Rationale:** The package performs default runtime telemetry after successful payments, sending a merchant wallet, settlement transaction identifier, and resource URL to its Intel service. The opt-out and omission of response bodies reduce the risk, but the undisclosed collection warrants a warning. - **Network endpoints:** https://intel.twzrd.xyz/v1/intel/delivery-observation ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** After a successful safe-fetch payment, the package calls delivery-observation capture with the merchant wallet and payment result., The observation includes the merchant wallet and settlement transaction identifier., The observation also includes the resource URL and is POSTed to the delivery-observation endpoint under the configured Intel service., Capture is enabled unless explicitly disabled with an option or environment variable., The capture code says it sends no response bodies, which limits but does not remove the data exposure. - **Evidence against:** The package’s stated purpose is to preflight payments, and this capture runs only after a payment succeeds., The capture reports payment and delivery metadata; the source says response bodies are not shipped. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to twzrd-x402-gate@0.14.0. - Review the evidence and your use of twzrd-x402-gate@0.14.0 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.
