Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 9 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:** 1.16.1 - **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 package exposes the installer as a CLI and has no npm lifecycle hook; its agent configuration writes occur during explicit project setup. The inspected session-sharing instructions require user approval before sending. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:12:30.491Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:13:17.041Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 45772 ms - **Total time:** 46550 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 installer performs project-local agent skill setup when a user invokes its CLI. - **Trigger:** A user runs the vatio-skills command, optionally selecting a project directory. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior is ordinary, user-invoked skill setup; no confirmed attack surface remains. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:13:17.041Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It copies the package’s bundled skills into the project’s .agents/skills and .claude/skills directories; removal of the renamed skill is conditional on recognizing it as Vatio-installed. - **Rationale:** The package exposes the installer as a CLI and has no npm lifecycle hook; its agent configuration writes occur during explicit project setup. The inspected session-sharing instructions require user approval before sending. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills, .claude/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the installer as a named CLI and declares no npm lifecycle hook., The CLI defaults to the current directory or accepts a project path, then copies bundled skills into the project’s agent skill directories., The installer copies skills and removes a renamed skill only when its content identifies it as a Vatio-installed copy., The session-sharing skill says to show the user what would be sent and ask before sending. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/skills@1.16.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/skills@1.16.1 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.
