It also conditionally repairs package-local OpenTUI dependencies through npm. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T15:30:44.325Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T15:31:30.208Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 81 ms - **AI review time:** 45036 ms - **Total time:** 45883 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On installation, the package mutates user shell startup files to execute Apollo shell-init in future shells. It also conditionally repairs package-local OpenTUI dependencies through npm. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Future zsh/bash sessions invoke the installed Apollo command; install may modify package-local dependencies. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs, bin/apollo.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T15:31:30.208Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** shell rc persistence plus conditional dependency reinstall - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatic, persistent shell configuration mutation during postinstall, but no concrete malicious behavior. Warn rather than block because the mutation is package-aligned and not an AI-agent control-surface takeover. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs, node\_modules/@opentui, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically runs setup-shell.mjs., Setup appends an eval-based Apollo hook to existing .zshrc, .bashrc, and .bash\_profile files., Postinstall can remove its @opentui dependency directory and invoke npm install. - **Evidence against:** Shell hook is labeled, idempotent, opt-outable, and limited to the Apollo command., Repair targets only package-local node\_modules/@opentui and uses declared OpenTUI dependencies., No source evidence of credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote payload execution, or AI-agent control-surface writes. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node ./scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs && node ./scripts/setup-shell.mjs ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node ./scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs && node ./scripts/setup-shell.mjs ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** bin/apollo.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L10: L11: const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); L12: const cliBin = require.resolve("@aui.io/apollo-cli/bin/apollo.js"); ``` ### 5. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 6. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 65.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 8. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 9. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** scripts/setup-shell.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Setup appends an eval-based Apollo hook to existing .zshrc, .bashrc, and .bash\_profile files. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const MARKER = "apollo shell-init"; const LINE = '\n# apollo shell integration (auto-cd on workspace create/use); remove to disable\n' + 'command -v apollo >/dev/null 2>&1 && eval "$(apollo shell-init)"\n'; ``` ### 10. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Postinstall can remove its @opentui dependency directory and invoke npm install. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript if (existsSync(opentuiRoot)) { rmSync(opentuiRoot, { recursive: true, force: true }); } const apollo = JSON.parse(readFileSync(join(root, "package.json"), "utf8")); const specs = ["@opentui/core", "@opentui/react"] .map((name) => { const range = apollo.dependencies?.[name]; return range ? `${name}@${range}` : undefined; }) .filter((value) => value !== undefined); if (specs.length === 0) process.exit(0); console.log(`apollo: repairing OpenTUI install (${specs.join(", ")})...`); const result = spawnSync( "npm", ["install", ...specs, "--omit=de ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 11 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 11 ### Published dependency entries - @aui.io/apollo-cli 0.1.27 (Dependency) - @aui.io/apollo-core 0.1.27 (Dependency) - @aui.io/apollo-tui 0.1.27 (Dependency) - @opentui/core ^0.4.5 (Dependency) - @opentui/react ^0.4.5 (Dependency) - commander ^14.0.3 (Dependency) - diff 8.0.2 (Dependency) - picocolors ^1.1.1 (Dependency) - react ^19.1.0 (Dependency) - web-tree-sitter 0.25.10 (Dependency) - yaml ^2.9.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @aui.io/apollo - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.1.27 - **Version published:** 2026-08-16T14:51:45.546Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-27T20:26:30.175Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-01T17:44:00.870Z - **Known versions:** 10 - **Latest version:** 0.1.46 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Apollo operator console — CLI + interactive TUI - **Maintainers:** adliaui - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=20 - **Artifact files:** 1311 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 24,364,202 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
