## 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:** 0.1.2
- **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 install lifecycle performs a limited telemetry request to the package's own domain and does not access credentials in the reviewed code. The flagged agent configuration and backup operations are exposed through explicit CLI setup paths, so the source does not establish a concrete attack surface.

## Latest scan

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 reviewed install hook sends package and runtime platform metadata to the package's domain, while agent configuration writes are reachable through CLI setup commands.

- **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the telemetry hook; Cursor and pinned-rule writes require invoking their CLI setup commands.

- **Impact:** The telemetry reveals basic installation and platform metadata. The reviewed source does not establish credential theft, remote code execution, or unconsented agent configuration changes during installation.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T00:20:13.675Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The telemetry hook posts package/version and runtime platform fields to getamem.com. The reviewed setup functions write generated Cursor rules or hooks, and the backup scheduler creates a local scheduled backup when explicitly invoked.

- **Rationale:** The install lifecycle performs a limited telemetry request to the package's own domain and does not access credentials in the reviewed code. The flagged agent configuration and backup operations are exposed through explicit CLI setup paths, so the source does not establish a concrete attack surface.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/install/cursor.js, dist/rules-sync.js, dist/backup-schedule.js, dist/embed.js, dist/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** getamem.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs a postinstall telemetry script; its prepare script only builds the package., The postinstall request sends package, version, Node version, platform, and architecture to getamem.com., Cursor rule installation writes under the selected repository's .cursor/rules directory., Pinned rules are generated from pinned local claims and written under the repository's .cursor/rules directory., Cursor installation is called from the CLI's Cursor setup path., Pinned rule synchronization is called from a CLI command., Backup scheduling is exposed as an explicit function and creates a user backup directory when called., The flagged embedding backend handles a caller-configured external command; this excerpt shows no remote payload or credential transfer.
