AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe transitive reova postinstall hook automatically sends the Git email domain read from ~/.gitconfig to telemetry.reo.dev. This is install-time transmission of Git details without installer consent, so the package is malicious under the install-time contact rule.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing @ory/mastra runs reova's postinstall hook; tracking is enabled by this package's manifest.
Impact
The install discloses Git configuration details that can identify the user's organization without installer consent.
Mechanism
The hook reads ~/.gitconfig, extracts the domain from the configured Git user email, adds it to event metadata, and POSTs the event to the configured endpoint.
Attack narrative
On installation, reova's postinstall hook starts tracking. Because @ory/mastra enables tracking and configures an endpoint, the hook reads the Git user email from ~/.gitconfig, extracts its domain, and sends it with install metrics to telemetry.reo.dev. The installer is not prompted to consent to this collection and transmission of Git configuration details.
AI rationale
The transitive reova postinstall hook automatically sends the Git email domain read from ~/.gitconfig to telemetry.reo.dev. This is install-time transmission of Git details without installer consent, so the package is malicious under the install-time contact rule.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package enables reova install analytics and sets its endpoint to https://telemetry.reo.dev/data.
- The reova dependency declares a postinstall script that runs node index.js; that entry point automatically starts tracking.
- The install collector reads the Git user email from ~/.gitconfig, extracts its domain, and includes that domain in the event metadata.
- The tracker collects and sends the event when enabled and an endpoint is configured; the package supplies both settings.
- The event also includes ordinary install metrics such as package version, platform, runtime version, CI status, and a random install ID.
Evidence against
- The collector sends only the Git email domain, not the full email address.
- The dependency supports global opt-out settings, but the package config enables tracking by default.
