Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package in a Next.js project can silently alter that project's configuration. In AI SDK projects, the alteration redirects the ai module to Relia code that records and sends LLM-run content. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T12:55:52.712Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T12:57:01.223Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 1047 ms - **AI review time:** 67208 ms - **Total time:** 68511 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:** Installing the package in a Next.js project can silently alter that project's configuration. In AI SDK projects, the alteration redirects the ai module to Relia code that records and sends LLM-run content. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall in a detected Next.js project, with extra aliasing when the project depends on ai. - **Impact:** Prompts, answers, and tool-call data may be sent to Relia without an explicit setup command or informed consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/auto.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T12:57:01.223Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time Next.js configuration mutation followed by AI request interception and telemetry upload. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically. It locates a consumer Next.js project, modifies its configuration, and, when an AI SDK dependency is present, installs an alias from ai to relia-sdk/ai-bridge. The package's automatic interceptor extracts user-message content and uploads run payloads to Relia. This creates an unconsented installation-time path from a consumer's AI control surface to external telemetry. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete install-time mutation of a consumer AI integration that enables collection and external reporting of LLM content. The behavior is automatic rather than an explicit user setup action. - **Files touched:** package.json, next.config.ts, next.config.mjs, next.config.js, next.config.cjs - **Network endpoints:** https://devreliaapi.tryrelia.com/api/v1/agents/runs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The install hook automatically loads package code after installation., The hook detects a consuming Next.js project and rewrites its configuration., For AI SDK projects, the install hook adds an alias that replaces the ai module with this package's bridge., The automatic agent interceptor captures user messages and posts run payloads to a Relia endpoint., The Next.js setup routine rewrites the detected application's configuration file when its patch changes content. - **Evidence against:** The interceptor only targets listed LLM API hosts and POST requests., The source contains no runtime dependency on another relia-sdk release. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.33. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.33. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
