If OpenTUI is absent or incomplete, installation also removes the package's OpenTUI directory and invokes npm to reinstall declared dependencies. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T12:24:27.390Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T12:25:46.100Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 12160 ms - **AI review time:** 65790 ms - **Total time:** 78710 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation changes existing user shell startup files to evaluate generated Apollo shell code on future shell launches. If OpenTUI is absent or incomplete, installation also removes the package's OpenTUI directory and invokes npm to reinstall declared dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm installation, unless the documented environment opt-outs are set. - **Impact:** Future interactive shells execute Apollo's shell-init output; installation may mutate this package's dependency tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T12:25:46.100Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic shell startup persistence and conditional nested npm installation. - **Rationale:** The package has no demonstrated secret theft, remote payload execution, or self-dependency chain. Its automatic postinstall persistence and package-tree mutation warrant a warning rather than publication blocking. - **Files touched:** ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile, node\_modules/@opentui ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs two postinstall scripts., Postinstall appends an eval-based Apollo hook to existing user shell startup files., The other postinstall script can delete its OpenTUI dependency directory and run npm install. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package name was found., The nested npm install is limited to declared OpenTUI packages in this package directory., No credential harvesting or unprompted network endpoint is present in the lifecycle scripts. ## 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.

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 95.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 9. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 10. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-core/node\_modules/yaml/dist/parse/lexer.js\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-cli/node\_modules/commander/lib/command.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @aui.io/apollo@0.1.31 matchedIdentity = npm:QGF1aS5pby9hcG9sbG8:0.1.31 similarity = 1.000 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12.
