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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T01:34:00.070Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T01:34:52.187Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 96 ms - **AI review time:** 51504 ms - **Total time:** 52117 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 is enabled through the reova dependency. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff4616a2-efbc-4691-90bd-3fb9b18685d2/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff4616a2-efbc-4691-90bd-3fb9b18685d2/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff4616a2-efbc-4691-90bd-3fb9b18685d2/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff4616a2-efbc-4691-90bd-3fb9b18685d2/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T01:34:52.187Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It gathers install and system metrics plus the domain from ~/.gitconfig, then sends the event to the configured telemetry endpoint. - **Rationale:** The 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. - **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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/continue@1.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/continue@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.
