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 the agent-file setup and transcript upload are tied to explicit CLI commands. Runtime telemetry is opt-out, reports command outcome and error metadata to the configured API URL, and defaults to Vatio; no concrete attack behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:10:46.555Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:12:43.601Z - **Download time:** 1036 ms - **Static scan time:** 413 ms - **AI review time:** 115596 ms - **Total time:** 117046 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. The reviewed agent setup and sharing paths require explicit CLI commands, and telemetry reports command outcomes to the configured service. - **Trigger:** No attack trigger was found; the setup and sharing paths require user-invoked commands, while telemetry runs after a CLI command when enabled. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack impact; source inspection found no unconsented agent control-surface mutation or hidden credential disclosure. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:12:43.601Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup writes a Vatio workspace note, skills checks show installation suggestions, transcript sharing requires consent, and telemetry sends command outcome metadata. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the agent-file setup and transcript upload are tied to explicit CLI commands. Runtime telemetry is opt-out, reports command outcome and error metadata to the configured API URL, and defaults to Vatio; no concrete attack behavior was established. - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest, https://vatio.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI through bin/vatio.mjs and declares no install lifecycle hook., The AGENTS.md note is created by the explicit init command in the current directory, and an existing note that mentions Vatio is left unchanged., Skills hints inspect agent installation metadata and show suggestions after user-invoked improve commands; they skip in CI or when disabled and keep their check state in Vatio configuration., Transcript upload is reachable through the explicit share-session command; without --yes it requires an affirmative terminal response, and the send uses the configured service URL., Run telemetry is sent only when telemetry is enabled and a command ran; it reports the command, exit status, and error metadata to the configured API URL. The default URL is Vatio., The inspected child-process helper invokes git with fixed arguments to read repository metadata. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.86.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.86.1 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.
