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 CLI discloses runtime telemetry and provides an opt-out, but unexpected-error telemetry includes stack traces that may expose local paths beyond what the notice describes. This is a telemetry concern, not evidence of credential theft or malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T14:57:29.071Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T14:58:01.689Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 590 ms - **AI review time:** 31008 ms - **Total time:** 32618 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 may transmit local paths through unexpected-error stack traces, beyond the notice’s assurance that files are never sent. - **Trigger:** A CLI command runs with telemetry enabled and ends with an unexpected error. - **Impact:** A local path may be disclosed to the Vatio service without explicit per-run consent. - **Evidence paths:** lib/telemetry.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T14:58:01.689Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI posts run data to the configured Vatio API; unexpected errors contribute up to six stack lines, which can contain local paths. - **Rationale:** The CLI discloses runtime telemetry and provides an opt-out, but unexpected-error telemetry includes stack traces that may expose local paths beyond what the notice describes. This is a telemetry concern, not evidence of credential theft or malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/telemetry.mjs, ~/.vatio/sessions.json, ~/.vatio/telemetry-notice - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Default runtime telemetry reports command outcomes and an error field without user action., Unexpected errors include up to six stack lines; those can expose local source paths despite the telemetry notice saying files are never sent. - **Evidence against:** The CLI displays a telemetry notice and supports VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1., Telemetry is posted to the configured Vatio API, and normal command arguments are not included. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.129.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.129.0 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.
