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 is version-only runtime telemetry sent automatically before selected commands, and the policy check runs even when the ordinary update check is disabled. The request contains no project data or credentials, so the behavior warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T02:29:55.000Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T02:31:00.644Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 1061 ms - **AI review time:** 63820 ms - **Total time:** 65644 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:** Selected CLI commands automatically report the installed version to the vendor’s version-policy service, which can block a command. - **Trigger:** Invoking a command in the update-check command set, before its handler runs. - **Impact:** The vendor learns the CLI version in use and can prevent a selected command from running. No project data or credentials were found in this request. - **Evidence paths:** dist/update-check.js, dist/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T02:31:00.644Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI requests the policy endpoint with the current version in the URL query and user-agent. This request precedes the update-check opt-out and CI checks. - **Rationale:** This is version-only runtime telemetry sent automatically before selected commands, and the policy check runs even when the ordinary update check is disabled. The request contains no project data or credentials, so the behavior warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** ~/.adit/version-check.json - **Network endpoints:** adit-cloud.varve.ai, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest defines only build and typecheck scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., A set of user-invoked commands, including cloud login, sync, and agent commands, run an update-policy check., The policy request sends the CLI version in its query and user-agent to the package vendor’s version-policy endpoint., The policy request occurs before the ADIT\_NO\_UPDATE\_CHECK and CI checks, and a server response can block the command. - **Evidence against:** The policy request sends the CLI version, with no project contents, credentials, or machine details observed in that request., The ordinary latest-version lookup has an ADIT\_NO\_UPDATE\_CHECK opt-out and uses a short-lived cache. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @varveai/adit-cli@1.0.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @varveai/adit-cli@1.0.11 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.
