Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 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:** 0.122.0 - **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 is disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry to the package's own service, but error stacks can contain identifying local paths. That makes the telemetry a warning-level privacy risk under the review rules. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:37:23.744Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:38:14.011Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 586 ms - **AI review time:** 48900 ms - **Total time:** 50267 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:** Default runtime telemetry can send local paths contained in error stacks to Vatio. - **Trigger:** A CLI command fails with an error whose stack is reported, while telemetry is enabled. - **Impact:** The service may receive identifying local filesystem paths from the failed command's stack. - **Evidence paths:** lib/telemetry.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:38:14.011Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** reportRun includes an error description; for many errors, that description contains up to six stack lines and is posted to the configured Vatio API. - **Rationale:** This is disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry to the package's own service, but error stacks can contain identifying local paths. That makes the telemetry a warning-level privacy risk under the review rules. - **Files touched:** ~/.vatio/sessions.json - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Run telemetry is enabled by default unless VATIO\_TELEMETRY or DO\_NOT\_TRACK disables it., Failed runs include an error description in the telemetry event., For many errors, the description includes up to six lines of the error stack, which can contain local file paths., The event is posted to the configured Vatio API endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The CLI announces its runtime telemetry and provides an opt-out., The source says it does not send command arguments, file contents, or secrets., The skill hint fetches a version from the npm registry and writes its cache under the Vatio config directory., The AGENTS.md write occurs only during the explicit init command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.122.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.122.0 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.
