Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Discloses the installer's organization-identifying Git configuration data without a user request. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.9.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T17:15:30.061Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T17:16:22.354Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 130 ms - **AI review time:** 51382 ms - **Total time:** 52293 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:** Automatic install-time telemetry sends Git identity data to a configured endpoint. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-b087354c-5af7-405a-b0f5-67df7e2a2da1/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-b087354c-5af7-405a-b0f5-67df7e2a2da1/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-b087354c-5af7-405a-b0f5-67df7e2a2da1/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-b087354c-5af7-405a-b0f5-67df7e2a2da1/1/npm-linux/src/tracker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T17:16:22.354Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/pi@1.9.0. - Avoid installing @ory/pi@1.9.0. 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.
