Ory plugin for Continue CLI (cn): scaffolding skills, a local Ory instance, and authentication, authorization, and audit for every tool call
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package enables install-time telemetry through reova, which reads the Git email domain and sends it with install metrics to telemetry.reo.dev. This is suspicious telemetry under the install-hook rules; the inspected payload does not show credential or file-content collection.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The dependency's postinstall hook runs during package installation.
Impact
This discloses organizational information and installation metadata during installation without an end-user consent prompt.
Mechanism
It gathers install and system metrics plus the domain from ~/.gitconfig, then sends the event to the configured telemetry endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package configures reova with telemetry enabled and the endpoint https://telemetry.reo.dev/data.
- The reova dependency has a postinstall script that runs index.js, which invokes Tracker.track().
- The tracker collects an install event and sends it to the configured endpoint.
- The event includes the domain from the installer's ~/.gitconfig email address.
Evidence against
- The inspected payload includes package and runtime details, platform, CI status and a random install ID.
- The collector sends only the email domain, not the full email address.
- The package has no own lifecycle script; the install-time behavior comes from its reova dependency.
