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 enables reova analytics and supplies an endpoint, causing install-time telemetry to run automatically. The event can include an email domain, an identifying detail, so this merits a warning rather than a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T01:34:00.249Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T01:34:36.311Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 179 ms - **AI review time:** 35628 ms - **Total time:** 36062 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:** An enabled install analytics dependency sends an npm install event that can include the installer’s email domain. - **Trigger:** The dependency’s postinstall hook runs during installation. - **Impact:** The install discloses package and runtime metrics plus an organizational identifier without a separate user consent prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-01fb019c-6c64-4464-b266-b68080518524/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-01fb019c-6c64-4464-b266-b68080518524/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-01fb019c-6c64-4464-b266-b68080518524/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-01fb019c-6c64-4464-b266-b68080518524/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-01fb019c-6c64-4464-b266-b68080518524/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T01:34:36.311Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It reads the email setting from ~/.gitconfig, extracts its domain, adds it to an install metrics payload, and sends the payload to the configured analytics endpoint. - **Rationale:** The package enables reova analytics and supplies an endpoint, causing install-time telemetry to run automatically. The event can include an email domain, an identifying detail, so this merits a warning rather than a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **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 package enables reova analytics and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data., reova declares a postinstall hook that automatically starts its tracker., The tracker collects install metrics and includes the domain from the installer’s git email configuration., The tracker sends the collected payload to the configured endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The payload does not include the full email address, file paths, dependency list, or environment variables., The setup CLI’s marketplace and plugin changes run only when its executable entry point is invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/codex@1.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/codex@1.7.0 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.
