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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T04:27:39.898Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:28:22.575Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 106 ms - **AI review time:** 42050 ms - **Total time:** 42677 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:** Install-time telemetry sends package and system metrics plus the installer’s git email domain. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d1604152-d732-468f-88e4-5cd5c62fc319/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d1604152-d732-468f-88e4-5cd5c62fc319/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d1604152-d732-468f-88e4-5cd5c62fc319/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d1604152-d732-468f-88e4-5cd5c62fc319/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T04:28:22.575Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig (read) - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/cline@1.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/cline@1.8.0 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.
