Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 24 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:** 0.10.177 - **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. Source inspection found a postinstall message that directs users to a separate setup command, plus Cachly-aligned runtime and ambient-hook API use. The scanner's exfiltration hints were not supported by inspected evidence of an unrelated recipient or an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T03:07:29.961Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T03:08:09.508Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 1586 ms - **AI review time:** 37187 ms - **Total time:** 39547 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 inspected network and agent integration behavior is consistent with Cachly's memory and semantic-search functionality. - **Trigger:** The postinstall hook prints instructions; agent setup is suggested as a separate CLI command, and runtime integration occurs when the server or configured hooks are used. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T03:08:09.508Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Inspected calls use Cachly's API and credentials configured for Cachly. No unrelated recipient or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation was established. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a postinstall message that directs users to a separate setup command, plus Cachly-aligned runtime and ambient-hook API use. The scanner's exfiltration hints were not supported by inspected evidence of an unrelated recipient or an install-time attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/src/index.js, dist/src/handlers/brain.js, hooks/cachly-ambient-einblendung.mjs - **Network endpoints:** api.cachly.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook only prints setup instructions; its suggested setup is a separate CLI command., Agent hook files read existing Cachly configuration, and the ambient integration sends events to the configured Cachly API when credentials and an instance are present., The inspected runtime includes package-aligned Cachly API calls for semantic search; no unrelated credential recipient or confirmed attack behavior was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cachly-dev/mcp-server@0.10.177. - Review the evidence and your use of @cachly-dev/mcp-server@0.10.177 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.
