Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.9.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s installer writes bundled skills into project agent directories, so it carries an agent-extension capability and warrants a warning. The behavior is activated by running its CLI; the inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the session-sharing skill describes a separate user-requested or offer flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T00:40:50.823Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T00:41:20.423Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 28817 ms - **Total time:** 29600 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:** The installer places package-owned skills in project agent skill directories. This is an agent extension capability, but inspection found no confirmed attack behavior. - **Trigger:** A user runs the vatio-skills command. - **Impact:** The installed skills can guide an AI agent in that project; session sharing is described as user-requested or offered through a separate flow. - **Evidence paths:** bin/install.mjs, skills/vatio-share-session/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T00:41:20.423Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command copies bundled skill files into .agents/skills and .claude/skills under the selected project directory. - **Rationale:** The package’s installer writes bundled skills into project agent directories, so it carries an agent-extension capability and warrants a warning. The behavior is activated by running its CLI; the inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the session-sharing skill describes a separate user-requested or offer flow. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills, .claude/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes an installer command that copies its skills into agent skill directories., The installer copies package-owned skills into both project-level agent skill directories when run., One included skill describes sending a coding session to Vatio, with a separate user request or offer flow. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares a command-line entry point and no install lifecycle hook., The installer runs from the command invocation, defaults to the current directory, and supports an explicit target directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/skills@1.9.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/skills@1.9.0 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.
