## 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:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.72.0
- **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.

Session sharing conditionally forwards the existing Vatio token to an unrestricted configured destination, which presents a concrete credential exposure risk even though the command requires user invocation and ordinarily asks for confirmation. The agent-related writes inspected are explicit setup or local hint state and do not establish a separate attack.

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:** Session sharing can send a stored Vatio token to a user-configured base URL along with a Claude Code transcript. This creates conditional credential exposure when the configured destination is not trusted.

- **Trigger:** A user runs \`vatio share-session\` and confirms sending, or invokes it with \`--yes\`, with a token configured.

- **Impact:** A non-Vatio destination could receive the token and transcript, allowing credential misuse and disclosure of session content.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/config.mjs, lib/commands/support-commands.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T00:41:45.940Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The command posts the transcript to a path under the configured base URL and places the configured token in the Authorization header; the base URL is not restricted in the inspected source.

- **Rationale:** Session sharing conditionally forwards the existing Vatio token to an unrestricted configured destination, which presents a concrete credential exposure risk even though the command requires user invocation and ordinarily asks for confirmation. The agent-related writes inspected are explicit setup or local hint state and do not establish a separate attack.

- **Files touched:** lib/config.mjs, lib/commands/support-commands.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai, VATIO\_BASE\_URL or configured base\_url

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** \`share-session\` sends a Claude Code transcript and attaches the token returned by \`resolveToken()\` as a Bearer credential., The request destination comes from \`VATIO\_BASE\_URL\` or the configured \`base\_url\`; the source shows no destination restriction., Transcript sending requires explicit \`--yes\` or an interactive affirmative response, and requires authorization., The package’s agent configuration write is performed by the explicit \`init\` command; the skills hint checks for existing skills and plugins., The skills hint’s state write records when the hint was shown; it does not install or alter agent configuration.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest exposes a CLI executable and declares no install lifecycle hooks., Session sharing is an explicit command with a confirmation gate unless the caller supplies \`--yes\`., The default service destination is Vatio’s \`https://vatio.ai\` endpoint.
