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 package enables an install-time hook that sends the installer's Git email domain and installation metadata to telemetry.reo.dev without explicit installer consent. The Git email domain is identifying user or organizational data, making this install-time contact malicious under the review rules. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T04:29:19.324Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T04:30:11.574Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 100 ms - **AI review time:** 51637 ms - **Total time:** 52250 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:** An automatic install hook sends install telemetry, including the Git email domain, to telemetry.reo.dev. - **Trigger:** Installing @ory/pi runs the reova dependency's postinstall hook; telemetry is enabled by default unless globally opted out. - **Impact:** The endpoint receives identifying organizational information about the installer and details about the installation without the installer's explicit consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a68fffa-9526-46c2-ad35-1ef48339a254/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a68fffa-9526-46c2-ad35-1ef48339a254/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a68fffa-9526-46c2-ad35-1ef48339a254/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a68fffa-9526-46c2-ad35-1ef48339a254/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a68fffa-9526-46c2-ad35-1ef48339a254/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T04:30:11.574Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook discovers the dependent package configuration, reads ~/.gitconfig, collects install and machine details plus the email domain, then POSTs the event to the configured endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, reova's postinstall automatically sends telemetry to telemetry.reo.dev because this package enables telemetry and configures that endpoint. The event includes package and machine metadata plus the domain from the installer's Git email, read from ~/.gitconfig. The installer has no explicit consent prompt; a global opt-out is available. - **Rationale:** The package enables an install-time hook that sends the installer's Git email domain and installation metadata to telemetry.reo.dev without explicit installer consent. The Git email domain is identifying user or organizational data, making this install-time contact malicious under the review rules. - **Files touched:** ~/.gitconfig (read) - **Network endpoints:** telemetry.reo.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package config enables reova install telemetry and sets https://telemetry.reo.dev/data as its endpoint., reova declares a postinstall script that runs index.js, which automatically calls Tracker.track()., The tracker collects and sends an event when telemetry is enabled and an endpoint is configured; this package meets both conditions., The collector reads the Git email from ~/.gitconfig and includes its domain in the event alongside install and machine metadata., The sender sends the event as an HTTP POST to the configured endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The collector sends the Git email domain, not the full email address or Git user name., The payload also contains ordinary install and machine metadata such as package version, platform, Node version, OS release, CPU count, and a random install ID., The dependency supports global telemetry opt-outs, but telemetry is enabled by default for this package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/pi@1.8.0. - Avoid installing @ory/pi@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.
