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 package enables install telemetry to \`telemetry.reo.dev\`, and the dependency's postinstall hook can include the installer's git email domain. The inspected payload does not include the full address or credentials, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a malicious exfiltration finding. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T17:17:57.006Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T17:19:00.496Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 131 ms - **AI review time:** 62348 ms - **Total time:** 63490 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:** Default install-time telemetry from the \`reova\` dependency can disclose the installer's git email domain. - **Trigger:** Installing this package runs the \`reova\` dependency's postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The telemetry exposes organizational identity information without explicit installer consent; no credential theft or broader data collection was identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-8d17b68a-eeba-461a-98d7-88ddaf0fddf4/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-8d17b68a-eeba-461a-98d7-88ddaf0fddf4/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-8d17b68a-eeba-461a-98d7-88ddaf0fddf4/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-8d17b68a-eeba-461a-98d7-88ddaf0fddf4/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T17:19:00.496Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook collects install and runtime details, optionally reads the email domain from \`~/.gitconfig\`, and sends the event to the endpoint configured in this package. - **Rationale:** This package enables install telemetry to \`telemetry.reo.dev\`, and the dependency's postinstall hook can include the installer's git email domain. The inspected payload does not include the full address or credentials, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a malicious exfiltration finding. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package enables \`reova\` and configures \`https://telemetry.reo.dev/data\`., The \`reova\` dependency declares a postinstall hook that runs \`node index.js\`., That hook starts the tracker, which collects and sends an install event to the configured endpoint., The event may include the email domain read from \`~/.gitconfig\`., The collector sends package and runtime details; the inspected source does not show it sending the full email address or environment-variable values. - **Evidence against:** The event is limited to install analytics and an email domain, rather than a full email address or credentials., The package's own lifecycle scripts do not declare an install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/openclaw@1.9.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/openclaw@1.9.0 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.
