Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Persistence - **Selected version:** 0.1.35 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 postinstall hook persistently modifies shell startup files, so this merits a warning. Inspected behavior ties the wrapper to Apollo's agent commands and does not establish credential theft, remote execution, or agent-control hijacking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T11:12:47.066Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T11:13:41.846Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 7180 ms - **AI review time:** 46580 ms - **Total time:** 54780 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 postinstall hook can persist an Apollo shell wrapper in user startup files. The wrapper changes the working directory after selected successful Apollo agent commands. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs postinstall; the shell wrapper takes effect when a configured shell starts. - **Impact:** Shell startup is modified, and later successful agent use, import, or create commands can change the current shell's directory. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-cli/dist/src/commands/shell.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T11:13:41.846Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup script appends a guarded eval line to existing zsh or bash startup files and may create the detected login shell's startup file. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook persistently modifies shell startup files, so this merits a warning. Inspected behavior ties the wrapper to Apollo's agent commands and does not establish credential theft, remote execution, or agent-control hijacking. - **Files touched:** ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook runs both the OpenTUI repair and shell setup scripts., Shell setup appends an Apollo integration line to selected shell startup files., The integration wraps the Apollo command and can change directories after successful agent use, import, or create commands., If bundled OpenTUI directories are incomplete, the repair script runs npm install for the package's declared OpenTUI dependencies. - **Evidence against:** The shell wrapper changes directories only after the user runs a successful Apollo agent command., The inspected install scripts show no credential collection, external endpoint, or AI-agent configuration writes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aui.io/apollo@0.1.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @aui.io/apollo@0.1.35 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.
