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. This version enables install-time telemetry through a dependency's postinstall hook and configures its destination. The payload can include a Git email domain, an identifying detail, so this warrants a warning under the install-time telemetry rule. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:52:46.168Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:53:19.419Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 32585 ms - **Total time:** 33251 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 by default and can transmit package, machine, and Git email-domain details. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs the reova dependency's postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The install reports identifying organizational information and system details without a separate user prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-60992288-a71c-4098-9b6f-cddba19b35ee/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-60992288-a71c-4098-9b6f-cddba19b35ee/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-60992288-a71c-4098-9b6f-cddba19b35ee/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-60992288-a71c-4098-9b6f-cddba19b35ee/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:53:19.419Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook discovers the consuming package, collects telemetry, and sends it to the endpoint configured in this package's manifest. - **Rationale:** This version enables install-time telemetry through a dependency's postinstall hook and configures its destination. The payload can include a Git email domain, an identifying detail, so this warrants a warning under the install-time telemetry rule. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package enables reova telemetry by default and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data., reova declares a postinstall script that starts its tracker., The tracker collects install data and sends it to the configured endpoint., The install payload includes package and system details, and may include the domain from ~/.gitconfig. - **Evidence against:** The package itself declares no lifecycle scripts., The inspected payload does not include the full Git email address or environment variable values. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/openclaw@1.8.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/openclaw@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.
