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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T23:43:33.226Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T23:44:24.026Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 484 ms - **AI review time:** 49301 ms - **Total time:** 50800 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:** Credentialed CLI requests can send a saved bearer token to an operator-configured base URL. No package-selected unrelated recipient or confirmed attack was established. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** lib/config.mjs, lib/commands/improve.mjs, lib/commands/support-commands.mjs, lib/commands/auth.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T23:44:24.026Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The environment override takes precedence over the saved base URL, and requests attach the saved token without validating the destination host. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.105.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.105.0 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.
