AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found an opt-out install beacon with a limited, package-aligned payload, plus agent configuration and backup persistence tied to explicit product setup commands. The scanner's dynamic require resolves optional Electron, and the inspected dependency install hook performs native setup.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The install ping is activated by npm postinstall unless an inspected opt-out, CI, or test guard exits; the reviewed agent and backup setup actions require amem commands.
Impact
No concrete harmful impact was identified in the inspected source; the ping reports installation/runtime metadata.
Mechanism
The ping posts package and runtime metadata. Agent setup writes generated guidance and hooks, and backup scheduling configures local backups.
AI rationale
Source inspection found an opt-out install beacon with a limited, package-aligned payload, plus agent configuration and backup persistence tied to explicit product setup commands.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js after installation; the inspected runtime dependency is better-sqlite3, whose install script performs native prebuild or compilation.
- The install hook exits for its opt-out, CI, and test guards. Its beacon sends package, version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp to getamem.com.
- Cursor integration and generated agent guidance are reached through amem setup commands. The inspected code writes generated rules and hooks; pinned rule sync writes to the repo's Cursor rules directory.
- Backup persistence is installed by the explicit amem backup schedule command and runs local backups.
- The dynamic require in dist/app-shell.js resolves the optional Electron binary from the desktop package directory.
- The runtime default policy sets telemetry to false and the UI bind address to loopback.
Evidence against
- The package does make an automatic install-time network request, but the inspected payload contains package/runtime metadata rather than host, user, project, or credential data.
