Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe base URL override can redirect saved bearer credentials without a destination allowlist, creating conditional credential exposure. The agent configuration write is part of explicit vatio init, and transcript sharing has an affirmative send gate.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A credentialed command runs while VATIO_BASE_URL is set to a destination different from the token's issuer.
Impact
The configured destination may receive the saved service token; exposure is conditional on the operator's URL override.
Mechanism
The environment override takes precedence over the saved base URL, and requests attach the saved token without validating the destination host.
AI rationale
The base URL override can redirect saved bearer credentials without a destination allowlist, creating conditional credential exposure. The agent configuration write is part of explicit vatio init, and transcript sharing has an affirmative send gate.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Credentialed requests use a base URL that prioritizes VATIO_BASE_URL over the saved URL, without a host allowlist.
- The CLI sends saved bearer credentials to that resolved destination for Vatio reports, tools, test results, transcript sharing, and logout.
- Login allows an operator to choose a base URL, and device authentication uses that destination.
- The flagged AGENTS.md change occurs during explicit vatio init and adds Vatio workspace guidance.
Evidence against
- Session transcript sharing requires --yes or an affirmative terminal response before sending.
- The source does not establish a publisher-selected unrelated recipient; the credential exposure depends on an operator-configured destination override.
