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. This is not a confirmed malware chain, but it performs unconsented persistent shell-profile modification and runs npm during postinstall. The observed repair scope is package-local and no exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle code. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T21:09:42.281Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T21:09:51.235Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 7943 ms - **AI review time:** 59251 ms - **Total time:** 8954 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:** Installing the package persists an Apollo shell wrapper in the user's existing zsh and bash startup files. The same lifecycle hook may remove and reinstall local OpenTUI dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Future interactive shells execute the installed apollo shell-init command; installation can also fetch replacement dependencies. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, scripts/ensure-opentui.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T21:09:51.235Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic shell-profile mutation and local npm repair. - **Rationale:** This is not a confirmed malware chain, but it performs unconsented persistent shell-profile modification and runs npm during postinstall. The observed repair scope is package-local and no exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle code. - **Files touched:** .zshrc, .bashrc, .bash\_profile, node\_modules/@opentui, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Its postinstall hook runs two scripts automatically during installation., The shell setup script appends an eval command to existing zsh and bash startup files., The repair script can delete its bundled OpenTUI directory and invoke npm install during postinstall. - **Evidence against:** The automatic npm repair is limited to this package's OpenTUI dependencies and installation directory., No credential collection or network exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle scripts., The configured service endpoints belong to the package's stated AUI service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aui.io/apollo@0.1.60. - Review the evidence and your use of @aui.io/apollo@0.1.60 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.
