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 analytics by default, and the payload includes an identifier read from the installer's Git configuration. This fits the warning-only telemetry category: the collector excludes the full email address, paths, and environment variables. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:53:17.911Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:54:25.873Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 96 ms - **AI review time:** 67356 ms - **Total time:** 67962 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 analytics are enabled by default and include a Git email domain. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs reova's postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The endpoint receives install telemetry and an organizational identifier derived from the installer's Git configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-7f207125-d44a-4de8-a402-ad5d7c1f2ab7/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-7f207125-d44a-4de8-a402-ad5d7c1f2ab7/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-7f207125-d44a-4de8-a402-ad5d7c1f2ab7/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-7f207125-d44a-4de8-a402-ad5d7c1f2ab7/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-7f207125-d44a-4de8-a402-ad5d7c1f2ab7/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:54:25.873Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook collects package and machine details plus the Git email domain, then posts the payload to the configured analytics endpoint. - **Rationale:** The package enables install-time analytics by default, and the payload includes an identifier read from the installer's Git configuration. This fits the warning-only telemetry category: the collector excludes the full email address, paths, and environment variables. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package depends on reova and sets its install analytics to enabled with endpoint https://telemetry.reo.dev/data., reova declares a postinstall script that runs its tracker., The postinstall tracker collects and sends analytics for dependent packages when analytics are enabled and an endpoint is configured., The install payload includes package details and system information such as platform, architecture, Node version, OS release, and CPU count., The collector reads the Git email from ~/.gitconfig and adds its domain to the payload as an organizational signal., The sender makes an HTTP POST to the configured endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The collector sends only the Git email domain, not the full address., The documented payload excludes environment variables, file paths, and the dependency list. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/continue@1.8.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/continue@1.8.1 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.
