Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.78.0 - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and inspected agent-related behavior is user-invoked guidance or workspace setup. Transcript transmission is gated by explicit confirmation or --yes and targets the configured Vatio service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T21:55:23.431Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T21:55:51.465Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 334 ms - **AI review time:** 26935 ms - **Total time:** 28034 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:** No attack was identified. Agent-facing file changes occur during explicit workspace initialization, while the skills hint reads installed-skill state and presents guidance. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI's explicit init or improvement commands. - **Impact:** No unconsented agent-control mutation, install-time behavior, or unauthorized data transfer was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T21:55:51.465Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Init writes a workspace note to AGENTS.md; the hint checks for Vatio skills and may display an update suggestion. Sharing a transcript requires confirmation or --yes. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and inspected agent-related behavior is user-invoked guidance or workspace setup. Transcript transmission is gated by explicit confirmation or --yes and targets the configured Vatio service. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, skills-hint.json, skills-check.json - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, Vatio service endpoint from config.resolveBaseUrl() ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI executable and declares no install lifecycle hook., The AGENTS.md write is part of workspace initialization and leaves files mentioning Vatio unchanged., The skills hint is called from explicit improvement commands, can be disabled, and checks skill installation state before printing guidance., Session transcript sharing requires an explicit --yes flag or interactive confirmation and posts to the configured Vatio service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.78.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.78.0 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.
