This can disclose prompts, model responses, and project-derived content even for purportedly local use. - **Trigger:** Run the CLI after normal AEGIS Cloud login, then exit a session. - **Impact:** Full coding-assistant session contents are sent remotely without an explicit sync opt-in. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, package.json, README.md, scripts/ensure-node-version.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T02:05:23.847Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** default-enabled authenticated conversation exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** The CLI login path writes an AEGIS Cloud API key but does not disable sync. On session exit, the bundled UI serializes all session messages and POSTs them with that key to aegiscloud.org; the guard treats any value other than false as enabled. The README says fully local/Ollama use leaves nothing off-machine and describes sync as requiring activation, making the automatic upload materially misleading. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, default-enabled exfiltration of full assistant sessions after ordinary login, contradicted by the package's privacy claim. The install hook itself is non-malicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.aegiscode/config.json, bin/cli.js, package.json, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://aegiscloud.org/api/conversations/cli-sync ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** bin/cli.js uploads full session messages to aegiscloud.org on exit., Normal Google login stores an API key; sync defaults on unless explicitly false., README claims fully local use leaves nothing, contradicting the default upload path. - **Evidence against:** package.json preinstall only checks the Node version and exits., Cloud upload uses the package's branded aegiscloud.org endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
