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 explicit sharing gate and configurable API destination make this a conditional credential-forwarding risk rather than evidence of covert theft. Warn because the bearer token is not bound to the configured recipient. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:10:31.675Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:12:59.760Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 375 ms - **AI review time:** 146435 ms - **Total time:** 148085 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:** When \`share-session\` is invoked and a custom base URL is configured, the CLI can send its saved Vatio bearer token to that destination along with a transcript. The source does not bind the token to the configured recipient. - **Trigger:** An operator invokes \`vatio share-session\` and confirms sending, or uses \`--yes\`. - **Impact:** A token may be disclosed to an unintended configured endpoint when sharing is confirmed. The source does not establish that any such disclosure occurred. - **Evidence paths:** lib/commands/support-commands.mjs, lib/config.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:12:59.760Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The request uses \`config.resolveBaseUrl()\` for its destination and \`config.resolveToken()\` for its bearer authorization; the base URL accepts environment or saved configuration overrides. - **Rationale:** The explicit sharing gate and configurable API destination make this a conditional credential-forwarding risk rather than evidence of covert theft. Warn because the bearer token is not bound to the configured recipient. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI dispatches transcript sharing only for an explicit \`share-session\` command; trial retry and error-reporting paths are separate from that caller., Transcript sharing sends the saved Vatio bearer token to a URL resolved from configuration, with no destination check in the send path., The base URL can come from \`VATIO\_BASE\_URL\` or saved configuration, while token resolution is independent of the URL., Sharing requires \`--yes\` or an affirmative interactive response; without \`--yes\`, noninteractive use stops without sending., The agent-related paths inspected write workspace guidance from \`init\` and inspect installed skill markers; they do not establish an agent-control attack., The manifest exposes the \`vatio\` CLI entrypoint. - **Evidence against:** Transcript sharing is user-invoked and gated by an affirmative prompt or \`--yes\`, limiting exposure to that operation., The configured base URL may be intentionally selected for a Vatio-compatible deployment; source does not establish a fixed unrelated recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.86.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.86.0 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.
