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. Source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged agent configuration write is limited to explicit \`vatio init\`. Transcript sharing requires \`--yes\` or terminal confirmation and sends to the configured Vatio API, so the scanner findings do not establish an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:10:13.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:11:28.655Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 360 ms - **AI review time:** 73890 ms - **Total time:** 74760 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 surface was confirmed. The flagged agent-related behavior consists of a project note written by an explicit CLI command and a per-user hint cache. - **Trigger:** The project note requires \`vatio init\`; the skills hint is called by an explicit CLI command. - **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect; the observed changes support the CLI's workspace setup and hint behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:11:28.655Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The note adds Vatio workspace guidance to the project's AGENTS.md. The hint reads agent installation metadata and records when it was displayed under Vatio's config home. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged agent configuration write is limited to explicit \`vatio init\`. Transcript sharing requires \`--yes\` or terminal confirmation and sends to the configured Vatio API, so the scanner findings do not establish an attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and has no install lifecycle script., The project AGENTS.md note is written only by the explicit init command., The skills hint checks agent installation metadata and stores its display state under Vatio's config home when called from the flags command., Session sharing requires --yes in noninteractive use or terminal confirmation before sending., The transcript is sent to the configured Vatio API; the default base URL is vatio.ai., The entry point dispatches requested commands; the update handoff validates a release version, and the shared Git helper uses fixed arguments. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.82.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.82.0 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.
