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. 10 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:** 1.28.1 - **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 has no lifecycle hook or automatic runtime behavior. Its installer copies its own skills only when explicitly invoked, and the instructions for sharing a coding session require user agreement before sending. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:13:01.415Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:13:37.436Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 35494 ms - **Total time:** 36021 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 installs its own agent skills when its CLI is explicitly run. - **Trigger:** A user runs \`vatio-skills\` or \`npx @vatio-ai/skills\`. - **Impact:** The project’s coding agents can use Vatio skills; no unauthorized data transfer or broader agent-setting change was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:13:37.436Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI copies skill directories into the project’s \`.agents/skills\` and \`.claude/skills\` paths. Session sharing instructions require the user’s agreement before sending. - **Rationale:** The package has no lifecycle hook or automatic runtime behavior. Its installer copies its own skills only when explicitly invoked, and the instructions for sharing a coding session require user agreement before sending. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/\/, .claude/skills/\/, .vatio-skills-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the installer as a CLI binary and contains no lifecycle hook; the README says the skills have no hooks or anything that runs by itself., The installer uses the current directory by default and copies this package’s skills into \`.agents/skills\` and \`.claude/skills\` when run., The session-sharing instructions require showing the user what would be sent and prohibit sending without their agreement., The README describes session sharing as optional and says it occurs only after the user agrees. - **Evidence against:** The installer can overwrite installed skill copies and remove certain retired copies, but only when the user invokes the CLI., The package’s skills can direct an agent to use the Vatio CLI and service as part of the package’s stated purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/skills@1.28.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/skills@1.28.1 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.
