@ory/cline@1.8.0
Ory plugin for Cline: scaffolding skills, a local Ory instance, and authentication, authorization, and audit for every tool call
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package opts into reova telemetry in its manifest, and the dependency runs it during installation. The collector includes the installer’s git email domain in the outbound payload, so this is suspicious install-time telemetry rather than a clean release.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing @ory/cline runs the reova dependency’s postinstall hook automatically.
Impact
Organizational email-domain information is disclosed during installation without a separate user action; the observed flow does not send credentials or the full email address.
Mechanism
The hook finds dependent packages with reova enabled, collects install details and the email domain from ~/.gitconfig, then POSTs the payload to the configured endpoint.
AI rationale
The package opts into reova telemetry in its manifest, and the dependency runs it during installation. The collector includes the installer’s git email domain in the outbound payload, so this is suspicious install-time telemetry rather than a clean release.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest enables reova and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data.
- The reova dependency has a postinstall hook that automatically starts its tracker.
- The tracker collects install and system details and reads the git email domain from ~/.gitconfig.
- The payload includes that email domain and is POSTed to the configured endpoint.
Evidence against
- The collector sends only the email domain, not the full address, and documents excluding file paths, dependency lists, and environment-variable values.
- The telemetry payload includes ordinary install metrics such as package version, platform, runtime version, CI status, and a random event ID; no credential collection was found in this flow.
