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 17 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:** 0.1.84 - **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 automatic shell startup-file edit is a real persistence capability, so this merits a warning. Its stated integration is visible and removable, and the inspected source does not establish exfiltration or another concrete malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T11:12:55.317Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T11:13:48.441Z - **Download time:** 1550 ms - **Static scan time:** 7225 ms - **AI review time:** 44348 ms - **Total time:** 53124 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 automatic postinstall can modify the user's shell startup files to activate Apollo's shell integration. The behavior is announced in the source, idempotent, and has an opt-out; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall script outside CI unless APOLLO\_NO\_SHELL\_SETUP is set to 1. - **Impact:** Apollo's shell integration runs in later shell sessions and may change directories after workspace commands; the startup-file modification persists until removed. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/setup-shell.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T11:13:48.441Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script appends a guarded command that evaluates Apollo's shell-init output to existing zsh and bash startup files, and can create the detected login shell's startup file if missing. - **Rationale:** The automatic shell startup-file edit is a real persistence capability, so this merits a warning. Its stated integration is visible and removable, and the inspected source does not establish exfiltration or another concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** scripts/setup-shell.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs both setup scripts automatically during postinstall., The postinstall shell setup appends an Apollo shell-init command to existing zsh and bash startup files, unless CI or an opt-out variable is set., The shell setup avoids duplicate edits and marks the added line so users can remove it., The other install helper only repairs missing OpenTUI dependencies by removing a broken local directory and reinstalling the package-declared dependencies. - **Evidence against:** The package entrypoint delegates to its bundled Apollo CLI; inspected identity code sends authentication requests through the API client., No unrelated network endpoint or credential exfiltration was established in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aui.io/apollo@0.1.84. - Review the evidence and your use of @aui.io/apollo@0.1.84 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.
