Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This package enables an install-time telemetry hook that reads Git identity data and sends the email domain to a configured remote endpoint without installer consent. The concrete install-time transfer of Git configuration data meets the data-exfiltration rule. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T04:30:52.742Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:31:49.344Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 142 ms - **AI review time:** 55683 ms - **Total time:** 56602 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Because this package enables reova and configures telemetry.reo.dev, the hook reads the installer’s Git email domain from ~/.gitconfig and sends it with install metadata to that endpoint without an installer consent prompt. - **Rationale:** This package enables an install-time telemetry hook that reads Git identity data and sends the email domain to a configured remote endpoint without installer consent. The concrete install-time transfer of Git configuration data meets the data-exfiltration rule. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package enables reova install analytics and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data., reova’s postinstall starts tracking automatically during dependency installation., The collector reads ~/.gitconfig and extracts the Git email domain., That email domain is included in the install event as metadata., The tracker sends the collected event to the configured endpoint with an HTTP POST. - **Evidence against:** The package itself declares no lifecycle scripts; the install-time behavior comes from its reova dependency., The collector sends the email domain rather than the full email address and uses a random event ID. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/gemini-cli@1.8.0. - Avoid installing @ory/gemini-cli@1.8.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
