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, and the reviewed agent-related writes occur only through explicit CLI flows and are limited to workspace documentation or CLI hint state. The scanner’s agent-configuration finding is explained by these package-aligned behaviors; no concrete attack surface was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T17:09:36.987Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T17:10:19.100Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 458 ms - **AI review time:** 40886 ms - **Total time:** 42113 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. The flagged agent-related behavior is limited to an explicit workspace initialization command and informational skills hints. - **Trigger:** A user runs \`vatio init\` or an applicable CLI command that displays a skills hint. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time change to agent configuration or confirmed attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:10:19.100Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Initialization writes a local workspace manifest and an AGENTS.md note; the hint checks skill versions, prints manual update guidance, and saves its own display state. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent-related writes occur only through explicit CLI flows and are limited to workspace documentation or CLI hint state. The scanner’s agent-configuration finding is explained by these package-aligned behaviors; no concrete attack surface was established. ### 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 exposes a CLI entry and declares no lifecycle hooks., \`vatio init\` explicitly writes workspace files and calls the helper that adds a local AGENTS.md note., The note writer creates or appends only to AGENTS.md in the selected workspace., The skills hint can be suppressed in CI or with an environment flag and stores display state in the CLI config home., The skills hint checks for existing Vatio skills and prints update instructions; it does not install or modify agent plugins., The skills hint is called from explicit CLI command flows. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.94.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.94.0 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.
