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 15 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:** 0.1.95 - **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 postinstall persistently modifies user shell startup files without an affirmative setup step, so this warrants a warning. The wrapper's behavior is scoped to Apollo's agent workflow, and the inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T09:58:18.145Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T09:59:20.063Z - **Download time:** 2574 ms - **Static scan time:** 7852 ms - **AI review time:** 51491 ms - **Total time:** 61918 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:** Postinstall automatically changes user shell startup files to load Apollo's shell wrapper. The wrapper supports Apollo's workspace auto-change-directory feature, but the persistent startup-file change is a real security-relevant capability. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Future shell sessions invoke the Apollo wrapper, which can change directories after specified Apollo agent commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-shell.mjs, node\_modules/@aui.io/apollo-cli/dist/src/commands/shell.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T09:59:20.063Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script appends an Apollo shell-init evaluation command to applicable zsh/bash startup files; future shells load the wrapper when Apollo is available. - **Rationale:** The postinstall persistently modifies user shell startup files without an affirmative setup step, so this warrants a warning. The wrapper's behavior is scoped to Apollo's agent workflow, and the inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious attack. - **Files touched:** .zshrc, .bashrc, .bash\_profile ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs scripts/setup-shell.mjs during postinstall., The setup script appends a command to evaluate Apollo's shell wrapper in user startup files., The script targets existing zsh/bash startup files and can create the detected login shell's file., The setup runs automatically unless CI or APOLLO\_NO\_SHELL\_SETUP disables it., The wrapper limits automatic directory changes to successful Apollo agent use, import, or create commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aui.io/apollo@0.1.95. - Review the evidence and your use of @aui.io/apollo@0.1.95 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.
