Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.1.3 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete malware chain or self-dependent lifecycle chain was found. Automatic outbound telemetry and explicit agent-control configuration are meaningful security-relevant behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T12:39:43.770Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T12:40:55.357Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 634 ms - **AI review time:** 70186 ms - **Total time:** 71587 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 automatically sends limited installation telemetry to getamem.com. Separately, explicit setup commands can add hooks and scheduled tasks on the user's machine. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers telemetry; explicit init or backup schedule commands trigger configuration and persistence writes. - **Impact:** Installation metadata leaves the machine, and explicit commands can alter AI-agent settings or create user-level scheduled jobs. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js, dist/install/claude.js, dist/backup-schedule.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T12:40:55.357Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time telemetry plus user-invoked agent-hook and scheduler setup. - **Rationale:** No concrete malware chain or self-dependent lifecycle chain was found. Automatic outbound telemetry and explicit agent-control configuration are meaningful security-relevant behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js, dist/install/claude.js, dist/backup-schedule.js - **Network endpoints:** getamem.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** npm install automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script sends package, Node, platform, architecture, and timestamp metadata to getamem.com., Explicit platform setup writes Claude Code hook commands into its settings file., Explicit backup scheduling creates and enables user-level scheduled tasks. - **Evidence against:** The install beacon has a fixed host and sends only the constructed install-metadata object., Telemetry can be disabled with an environment variable and is skipped in CI and tests., Agent configuration writes are reached through explicit init or setup actions, not the install lifecycle., No self-dependency, payload download, secret harvesting, or remote code execution was found in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @iamem/amem@0.1.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @iamem/amem@0.1.3 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.
