Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 1.4.65 - **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. Direct source inspection found no npm install hook or confirmed attack. The credential flow authenticates to the configured EchoMem API, while agent setup and hook installation occur through the CLI setup path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:43:20.611Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:45:30.667Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 1931 ms - **AI review time:** 127356 ms - **Total time:** 130056 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 in the inspected source. Setup writes EchoMem-owned guidance and hooks through its CLI setup flow, and the login token is used with the configured EchoMem API. - **Trigger:** A user runs an EchoMem setup or login command, or launches the configured MCP server. - **Impact:** No unauthorized third-party credential disclosure or unconsented agent control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:45:30.667Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package configures its own agent integration and sends its device token to the API used to obtain it; startup refreshes only an existing EchoMem-owned guidance block. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection found no npm install hook or confirmed attack. The credential flow authenticates to the configured EchoMem API, while agent setup and hook installation occur through the CLI setup path. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/setup.js, dist/hud/hooks.js, dist/headless-runtime.js, dist/hud/server.js - **Network endpoints:** https://echo-mem-chrome.vercel.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook; its prepack script only runs the build., The scorer, monitor, and migration excerpts read local Codex session or index data., Agent guidance and hooks are installed by CLI setup; server startup refreshes only an existing EchoMem-owned guidance block., Login obtains an EchoMem device token through the configured EchoMem API; authenticated requests use that same API base. No saved third-party credential transfer was established., The managed runtime installs this package into its own directory with npm scripts disabled., The HUD excerpt invokes sqlite3 with execFileSync against a local Codex database; it does not invoke a shell. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @echomem/mcp@1.4.65. - Review the evidence and your use of @echomem/mcp@1.4.65 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.
