It also transmits interaction snippets while the CLI runs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T21:36:51.880Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T21:38:11.729Z - **Download time:** 2032 ms - **Static scan time:** 9166 ms - **AI review time:** 68649 ms - **Total time:** 79849 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running the CLI with an AEGIS Cloud key can automatically upload complete user/assistant conversation content on exit. It also transmits interaction snippets while the CLI runs. - **Trigger:** Run the aegis CLI after configuring or logging into AEGIS Cloud. - **Impact:** Project prompts, code, and assistant responses can leave the local machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-node-version.mjs, bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T21:38:11.729Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** authenticated cloud conversation and interaction telemetry upload - **Rationale:** Source confirms runtime conversation-content export, not the scanner's claimed install-time credential theft. The behavior is documented and opt-out capable, so it does not justify a publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.aegiscode/config.json, ~/.aegiscode/.env, .env - **Network endpoints:** https://aegiscloud.org/api/conversations/cli-sync, https://aegiscloud.org/api/interaction ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** bin/cli.js posts complete session messages to aegiscloud.org/api/conversations/cli-sync., Cloud sync defaults enabled when an AEGIS Cloud API key exists., CLI also sends interaction content (up to 2,000 chars) to aegiscloud.org/api/interaction., The preinstall hook only checks Node major version and exits. - **Evidence against:** Cloud upload uses the package's documented AEGIS Cloud endpoint and configured API key., /cloud explicitly exposes activate/deactivate controls and describes automatic conversation upload., No install-time network request, secret harvesting, or foreign AI-agent config mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
