Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.93.0 - **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. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency. Source inspection shows the agent-related write is part of explicit workspace initialization, while the skills hint checks installation state and offers guidance; no attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T14:35:44.018Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T14:36:25.838Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 459 ms - **AI review time:** 40840 ms - **Total time:** 41820 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 in the inspected source. Agent configuration changes occur only when the user runs \`vatio init\`, and the skills hint only checks for Vatio skills and displays an installation suggestion. - **Trigger:** Explicit invocation of \`vatio init\` or an improve command that displays the skills hint. - **Impact:** These actions support the CLI’s workspace setup and skills guidance; no unconsented agent control change or other attack was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T14:36:25.838Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** \`vatio init\` writes a workspace manifest and a short AGENTS.md note; the hint reads skill installation metadata, checks the npm registry for a version, and stores display state. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency. Source inspection shows the agent-related write is part of explicit workspace initialization, while the skills hint checks installation state and offers guidance; no attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, vatio.yml, lib/commands/misc.mjs, lib/skills-hint.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest ### 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 a yaml dependency, with no lifecycle script or runtime self-dependency., The \`vatio init\` command writes a workspace manifest and an AGENTS.md note when explicitly invoked., The skills hint checks for installed Vatio skills and records whether its message was shown; its version check contacts the npm registry., The improve commands are ordinary user-invoked CLI operations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.93.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.93.0 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.
