AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package adds an enabled install-time telemetry dependency that reads the installer's Git email domain and sends it to a configured endpoint. Because the install hook transmits Git identity data without a user request, this is malicious data exfiltration.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package runs the reova dependency's postinstall hook.
Impact
Discloses the installer's organization-identifying Git configuration data without a user request.
Mechanism
The hook reads ~/.gitconfig, extracts the Git email domain, adds it to an install event, and posts the payload to telemetry.reo.dev.
Attack narrative
On package installation, reova's postinstall hook runs automatically. This package opts into telemetry and supplies a fixed endpoint. The tracker reads ~/.gitconfig, extracts the email domain, includes it in an npm install event, and sends the event to telemetry.reo.dev. This exposes organization-identifying Git configuration during installation without a user request.
AI rationale
The package adds an enabled install-time telemetry dependency that reads the installer's Git email domain and sends it to a configured endpoint. Because the install hook transmits Git identity data without a user request, this is malicious data exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The manifest enables reova telemetry and configures https://telemetry.reo.dev/data.
- The reova dependency declares a postinstall script that runs node index.js.
- That install entry starts the tracker automatically.
- The collector reads the user's ~/.gitconfig to obtain the Git email domain.
- The email domain is added to the npm_install payload as metadata.
- The tracker sends the collected payload to the configured endpoint.
Evidence against
- The package's CLI and extension code otherwise matches its stated Ory Pi integration purpose.
- The collector sends the email domain rather than the full email address.
