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. This version enables a transitive dependency’s install-time telemetry and configures an external endpoint; the dependency automatically reads a Git email domain and sends it with installation data. Because this sends user-identifying data during installation without an explicit consent action, the package is malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T01:34:24.552Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T01:34:57.749Z - **Download time:** 262 ms - **Static scan time:** 124 ms - **AI review time:** 32810 ms - **Total time:** 33197 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:** A transitive install hook automatically sends install telemetry, including a Git-config email domain, to telemetry.reo.dev. - **Trigger:** Installing @ory/cline causes reova’s postinstall hook to run. - **Impact:** An external telemetry endpoint receives user or organization identifying data and package installation details without an explicit install-time consent action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a6794b18-c1f1-47d4-811d-ba9c376c0d5e/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a6794b18-c1f1-47d4-811d-ba9c376c0d5e/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a6794b18-c1f1-47d4-811d-ba9c376c0d5e/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a6794b18-c1f1-47d4-811d-ba9c376c0d5e/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a6794b18-c1f1-47d4-811d-ba9c376c0d5e/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T01:34:57.749Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook tracks dependent packages whose manifest enables reova, collects install and system details plus the email domain read from ~/.gitconfig, then POSTs the event to the configured endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, reova’s postinstall hook finds @ory/cline’s enabled analytics configuration, reads the email domain from ~/.gitconfig, adds it to install telemetry, and POSTs the payload to telemetry.reo.dev. A global opt-out exists, but the transfer is enabled by default and includes user or organization identifying data. - **Rationale:** This version enables a transitive dependency’s install-time telemetry and configures an external endpoint; the dependency automatically reads a Git email domain and sends it with installation data. Because this sends user-identifying data during installation without an explicit consent action, the package is malicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** telemetry.reo.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest enables reova analytics and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data., The reova dependency runs node index.js from its postinstall hook, which starts tracking automatically., The tracker collects the dependent package’s install event and sends it to the configured endpoint., The collector reads the Git-config email domain and includes it in the event metadata., The sender makes an HTTP POST with the collected payload. - **Evidence against:** The dependency supports global opt-outs through REOVA\_ANALYTICS=false and DO\_NOT\_TRACK, but analytics is enabled by default for this package., The collector sends the email domain rather than the full Git email address. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/cline@1.7.0. - Avoid installing @ory/cline@1.7.0. 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.
