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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T04:29:19.386Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:30:04.834Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 32 ms - **AI review time:** 44897 ms - **Total time:** 45448 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:** The dependency's install hook sends an install event containing the user's Git email domain to telemetry.reo.dev. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3ab7c6ae-e308-4968-af78-d9342a5d0f97/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3ab7c6ae-e308-4968-af78-d9342a5d0f97/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3ab7c6ae-e308-4968-af78-d9342a5d0f97/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3ab7c6ae-e308-4968-af78-d9342a5d0f97/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3ab7c6ae-e308-4968-af78-d9342a5d0f97/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T04:30:04.834Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/mastra@1.8.0. - Avoid installing @ory/mastra@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.
