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 automatically modifies shell startup configuration, creating persistent behavior that warrants a warning. The inspected wrapper is constrained to Apollo's documented auto-directory-change function, and no concrete malicious chain was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T11:11:59.296Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T11:12:49.549Z - **Download time:** 1005 ms - **Static scan time:** 7518 ms - **AI review time:** 41729 ms - **Total time:** 50253 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 can alter shell startup files to activate Apollo's shell wrapper on future shell launches. This is persistent shell configuration with a stated auto-directory-change purpose. - **Trigger:** Installing the package when neither CI nor APOLLO\_NO\_SHELL\_SETUP=1 is set. - **Impact:** Future shells source package-provided behavior, and qualifying Apollo commands can change the shell's working directory. No credential or exfiltration behavior was identified in the inspected paths. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-cli/dist/src/commands/shell.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T11:12:49.549Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup script appends an Apollo shell-init evaluation line to selected zsh/bash startup files; the wrapper invokes Apollo and changes directory after successful agent use, import, or create commands. - **Rationale:** The postinstall automatically modifies shell startup configuration, creating persistent behavior that warrants a warning. The inspected wrapper is constrained to Apollo's documented auto-directory-change function, and no concrete malicious chain was established. - **Files touched:** ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash\_profile ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall automatically runs shell setup after installation., Unless CI or an opt-out variable is set, setup selects existing zsh/bash startup files and may create the login shell's file., Setup appends a command that evaluates output from the Apollo CLI whenever the shell starts., The generated wrapper runs Apollo and may change directory after agent use, import, or create commands., The OpenTUI repair removes a broken package directory and reinstalls the declared OpenTUI dependencies. - **Evidence against:** The shell wrapper is limited to Apollo commands and directory changes after successful agent operations., Shell setup has CI and explicit environment-variable opt-outs; the repair script catches errors., Inspected behavior shows no credential collection or network destination. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aui.io/apollo@0.1.70. - Review the evidence and your use of @aui.io/apollo@0.1.70 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.
