## 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:** 0.90.0
- **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.

Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The relevant agent configuration change is part of the CLI setup flow, and transcript sharing requires confirmation or an explicit \`--yes\` option before sending to the configured service endpoint.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 in the inspected source. The reviewed flows support CLI setup, skills discovery, and user-confirmed transcript sharing.

- **Trigger:** Running the CLI invokes its command dispatcher; setup, skills hints, and transcript sharing run when their corresponding commands or flows are selected.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior does not establish covert credential theft or unconsented agent control-surface mutation.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T15:03:02.114Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI writes workspace guidance, reads existing skills metadata, and sends a scrubbed transcript only after confirmation or an explicit \`--yes\` option.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The relevant agent configuration change is part of the CLI setup flow, and transcript sharing requires confirmation or an explicit \`--yes\` option before sending to the configured service endpoint.

- **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, package.json, bin/vatio.mjs, lib/commands/misc.mjs, lib/skills-hint.mjs, lib/commands/support-commands.mjs, lib/config.mjs, lib/codex-session.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai, https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest

### 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 entrypoint, lists only yaml as a dependency, and contains no lifecycle script., The \`init\` flow writes a Vatio note into the workspace AGENTS.md., Skills discovery reads existing agent plugin metadata and local skill directories., Session sharing is selected through the CLI command and requires confirmation or \`--yes\` before upload., The transcript upload uses the configured Vatio base URL and token; the base URL resolves from environment, saved config, or the package default., Codex session scrubbing redacts strings and omits image content.
