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 defines a CLI binary but no npm lifecycle hooks, and the installer writes first-party skills only when explicitly run. The packaged session-sharing instructions require user consent before sending a session. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:12:12.067Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:13:01.673Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 48824 ms - **Total time:** 49606 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 package provides a user-run installer for its first-party agent skills. - **Trigger:** A user runs the vatio-skills command, optionally specifying a project directory. - **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect was established. The session-sharing instructions require the user's request or affirmative choice before sending. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:13:01.673Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer copies packaged skills into the selected project's agent skill directories; it only removes the renamed skill directory when its marker identifies it as package-installed. - **Rationale:** The manifest defines a CLI binary but no npm lifecycle hooks, and the installer writes first-party skills only when explicitly run. The packaged session-sharing instructions require user consent before sending a session. - **Files touched:** bin/install.mjs, .agents/skills, .claude/skills ### 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 bin/install.mjs as a CLI and defines no lifecycle hooks., The installer documents an explicit npx command and copies packaged skills into project-level .agents/skills and .claude/skills directories., The installer removes a renamed skill directory only when its SKILL.md identifies it as package-installed., The session-sharing skill says not to send a session independently; sending requires the user's request or affirmative choice. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/skills@1.14.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/skills@1.14.0 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.
