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 hooks or concrete attack behavior. Agent-related file changes are tied to explicit CLI commands, and session upload is gated by user confirmation or an explicit yes. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:10:19.906Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:12:07.107Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 368 ms - **AI review time:** 106062 ms - **Total time:** 107201 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 identified. The observed agent-facing writes are limited to explicit CLI setup and a local hint cache. - **Trigger:** The setup note is written when a user runs \`vatio init\`; the skills hint runs from selected improve commands. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, hidden credential transfer, or other concrete attack was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:12:07.107Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup command adds Vatio workspace guidance to AGENTS.md, while the hint records its display state in its own cache. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install hooks or concrete attack behavior. Agent-related file changes are tied to explicit CLI commands, and session upload is gated by user confirmation or an explicit yes. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares the CLI entrypoint and dependency but no install lifecycle hook., The CLI routes \`init\` to workspace setup, which writes a Vatio note to AGENTS.md only when that command runs., The skills hint reads installed skill metadata and writes its own hint cache; it is called from an explicit improve command., Session sharing is an explicit CLI command; it offers a save-to-file path and requires confirmation or an explicit yes before sending., The session upload sends a bearer token to the configured API base URL; the source sets Vatio as the default and allows an explicit environment or config override., Other indicated CLI locations show normal command reporting and a retry limited to a claimed-trial error; the child process helper runs fixed git arguments. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.84.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.84.0 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.
