## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 7 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 1.8.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

This package enables a dependency’s postinstall telemetry by default, and the payload includes the domain extracted from the local git email. That identifying detail makes this suspicious install-time telemetry, though the reviewed flow does not send the full email or credentials.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time telemetry sends package and system metrics plus the git email domain to the configured endpoint.

- **Trigger:** Installing this package with lifecycle scripts enabled triggers reova’s postinstall hook; telemetry is enabled in this package’s manifest.

- **Impact:** The endpoint receives an organizational identifier without a separate user prompt. This is undisclosed install-time telemetry with identifying details.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** reova reads ~/.gitconfig, extracts the email domain, adds it to the install payload, and POSTs the payload to telemetry.reo.dev.

- **Rationale:** This package enables a dependency’s postinstall telemetry by default, and the payload includes the domain extracted from the local git email. That identifying detail makes this suspicious install-time telemetry, though the reviewed flow does not send the full email or credentials.

- **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/src/collector.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-bedd7c06-33e6-41a4-8966-f3cd38c44e9e/1/npm-linux/src/sender.js, ~/.gitconfig

- **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.reo.dev/data

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **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 runs a postinstall hook that calls its tracker automatically., The tracker reads the git email domain and includes it in install metadata., The tracker sends the collected payload in an HTTP POST.

- **Evidence against:** The collected data includes package and system metadata, but not the full email address or environment variable values., The flagged Anthropic credential mention is in a deployment skill that says not to inspect or expose that credential.
