AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends runtime usage telemetry by default from its CLI without an explicit CLI disclosure prompt, which merits a warning under the telemetry rules. The inspected flow reports usage metadata to the package’s telemetry endpoint and showed no credential exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The CLI reports an app-open event when run; queued events are sent when reporting is enabled and the sender’s timing conditions are met.
Impact
The vendor receives usage metadata associated with a persistent install identifier. No credential or file-content transfer was identified.
Mechanism
The bundle queues usage events and POSTs batches to https://t.ai4kanban.dev/v1/batch. Reporting defaults on, and the CLI path does not require the app disclosure flag.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Usage reporting defaults on when no setting is present; CLI usage does not require the app disclosure flag.
- Running the CLI reports an app-open event, and the CLI surface bypasses the disclosure check applied to the app surface.
- Queued usage events are POSTed to the package’s telemetry endpoint; reporting can be turned off with a separate telemetry command.
Evidence against
- The inspected telemetry code uses random event identifiers and usage metadata; no credential or file-content upload was identified in this flow.
- The credential-related matches are in provider configuration for agent runs, not in the telemetry request.
- The package manifest’s prepare and prepublishOnly scripts build the bundle; no install or postinstall hook is declared.
