In a repair condition it also replaces the package's OpenTUI directory and runs npm install. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T12:24:28.449Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T12:26:42.763Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 10838 ms - **AI review time:** 122455 ms - **Total time:** 134314 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation changes the user's shell startup files so later interactive shells evaluate Apollo-generated code. In a repair condition it also replaces the package's OpenTUI directory and runs npm install. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Future zsh or bash sessions can execute Apollo shell-init output; installation can also alter package-local dependencies. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T12:26:42.763Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall shell-profile persistence and conditional dependency reinstallation. - **Rationale:** The source establishes automatic user shell startup-file mutation and conditional npm execution during postinstall. It does not establish credential theft, exfiltration, or a hidden payload, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile, node\_modules/@opentui ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install hook automatically runs both repair and shell-setup scripts., The shell setup selects existing user shell startup files and appends to them during installation., The appended startup command evaluates output from the Apollo executable in future shell sessions., The repair hook can delete its OpenTUI dependency directory and invoke npm install automatically. - **Evidence against:** The repair is limited to the package's own node\_modules/@opentui directory and named OpenTUI dependencies., No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, or hidden remote payload execution was found in the install scripts., The package has no runtime dependency on another release of itself. ## 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.

Medium: Ships Wasm Module - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-tui/node\_modules/@opentui/core/assets/zig/tree-sitter-zig.wasm - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships WebAssembly modules. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text path = node_modules/@aui.io/apollo-tui/node_modules/@opentui/core/assets/zig/tree-sitter-zig.wasm kind = wasm_module sizeBytes = 691726 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 8. 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. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 11 ``` ### 11. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The install hook automatically runs both repair and shell-setup scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "check-release-tag": "node ./scripts/check-release-tag.mjs", "postinstall": "node ./scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs && node ./scripts/setup-shell.mjs", "prepack": "node ./scripts/materialize-bundle.mjs", "postpack": "node ./scripts/clean-bundle.mjs" } ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** scripts/setup-shell.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() The shell setup selects existing user shell startup files and appends to them during installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // Every rc a zsh/bash session might read: login shells and interactive ones. const candidates = [".zshrc", ".bashrc", ".bash_profile"].map((name) => path.join(home, name), ); const loginRc = loginShell === "zsh" ? path.join(home, ".zshrc") : loginShell === "bash" ? path.join(home, process.platform === "darwin" ?
