AI Security Review
scanned 20h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI enables runtime usage reporting by default and sends usage batches to the vendor endpoint, while the package README does not describe the reporting. This merits a warning for undisclosed telemetry; the inspected flow does not show credential exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
An ordinary CLI invocation, except the internal watch command; reporting is limited to once per day.
Impact
The endpoint receives platform and usage metadata tied to a persistent install identifier. The reviewed app-open event does not include credentials or file contents.
Mechanism
The CLI queues app-open usage details and posts batches to the package vendor's telemetry endpoint. A DO_NOT_TRACK setting and a telemetry-off command are available.
AI rationale
The CLI enables runtime usage reporting by default and sends usage batches to the vendor endpoint, while the package README does not describe the reporting. This merits a warning for undisclosed telemetry; the inspected flow does not show credential exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Usage reporting defaults to on when its setting is absent.
- Ordinary CLI invocations call the app-open reporting path, which sends at most once per day.
- The app-open event contains OS, architecture, and a first-run flag.
- The sender posts queued usage batches to the WildCrane telemetry endpoint.
Evidence against
- The manifest has prepare and prepublishOnly build scripts, but no install or postinstall hook.
- The reviewed telemetry fields describe usage and platform details; no credential values or file contents are included in the app-open event.
- The README points readers to product documentation but does not describe telemetry in the package itself.
