Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. @ory/amp configures an enabled telemetry dependency with a fixed recipient, and the dependency runs its tracker from postinstall. The automatic collection and transmission of installation and host metadata supports blocking this release. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T21:30:52.898Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T21:31:32.258Z - **Download time:** 1024 ms - **Static scan time:** 94 ms - **AI review time:** 38241 ms - **Total time:** 39360 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 @ory/amp triggers its reova dependency’s postinstall tracker, which sends installation and host metadata to a configured telemetry endpoint. The parent package enables tracking and supplies a fixed endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installing @ory/amp with dependency lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Installation identifiers and environment details are disclosed to the configured telemetry recipient without installer consent established in the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-861cd6a8-d6b9-4487-9466-7f71f6b7fc50/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-861cd6a8-d6b9-4487-9466-7f71f6b7fc50/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-861cd6a8-d6b9-4487-9466-7f71f6b7fc50/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-861cd6a8-d6b9-4487-9466-7f71f6b7fc50/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-861cd6a8-d6b9-4487-9466-7f71f6b7fc50/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T21:31:32.258Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** reova postinstall runs a tracker that collects package and system details and posts the payload to telemetry.reo.dev. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the reova dependency’s postinstall starts tracking. @ory/amp configures telemetry.reo.dev and enables tracking. The tracker collects package and host details, including system attributes and installation metadata, then posts them to that endpoint. The inspected source does not establish installer consent for this automatic disclosure. - **Rationale:** @ory/amp configures an enabled telemetry dependency with a fixed recipient, and the dependency runs its tracker from postinstall. The automatic collection and transmission of installation and host metadata supports blocking this release. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package depends on reova, whose manifest runs node index.js during postinstall; that entrypoint starts tracking automatically., The parent package enables reova and configures telemetry.reo.dev as the endpoint, without installer consent being established in the inspected source., The tracker sends for dependent packages when enabled and an endpoint is configured., The install payload includes package and version, platform, architecture, Node version, OS type and release, CPU count, timestamp, CI status, and a random install identifier., The sender makes an HTTP request and writes the collected payload to it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.5.3. - Avoid installing @ory/amp@1.5.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
