Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 1.4.70 - **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. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged credential flow uses the EchoMem API base rather than a hard-coded unrelated collector. Startup maintenance is limited to existing EchoMem-owned agent guidance and lifecycle hooks; analytics is described as restricted to allow-listed product metadata with an opt-out. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:02:32.916Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:03:32.272Z - **Download time:** 3050 ms - **Static scan time:** 2235 ms - **AI review time:** 54070 ms - **Total time:** 59356 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 identified. The package provides an EchoMem MCP bridge, with setup, login, agent integration, and runtime update features. - **Trigger:** Setup and login run when explicitly invoked; agent-configuration refresh and update checks can run when the MCP server starts. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, unrelated code execution, or unrequested account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:03:32.272Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package contacts its EchoMem API and PostHog for product analytics, and maintains only EchoMem-owned guidance and hook entries in agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged credential flow uses the EchoMem API base rather than a hard-coded unrelated collector. Startup maintenance is limited to existing EchoMem-owned agent guidance and lifecycle hooks; analytics is described as restricted to allow-listed product metadata with an opt-out. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.echomem/credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** echo-mem-chrome.vercel.app, echoknows.com, us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall script; its scripts are for build, start, development, and checks., The API client sends the device token to the configured EchoMem API base, which defaults to echo-mem-chrome.vercel.app., Default server startup refreshes EchoMem-owned agent guidance and existing lifecycle-hook command paths; the refresh functions leave files without those existing markers or hooks alone., The analytics code describes its collected fields as allow-listed and excludes emails, paths, memory text, queries, tokens, and keys., Analytics events carry app/version/platform/architecture, installation ID, command, and event data to PostHog; the code supports telemetry opt-out. - **Evidence against:** Server startup does write to agent configuration files, but only to refresh EchoMem-owned guidance or existing EchoMem lifecycle hooks., The package includes process execution and automatic update code, but the reviewed paths stage this package's own runtime and do not show unrelated code execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @echomem/mcp@1.4.70. - Review the evidence and your use of @echomem/mcp@1.4.70 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.
