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. 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. The scanner's dynamic require resolves optional Electron, and the inspected dependency install hook performs native setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T17:25:48.238Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T17:26:48.503Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 813 ms - **AI review time:** 58438 ms - **Total time:** 60265 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 malicious attack surface was identified. The install hook sends limited package/runtime metadata to the package's domain, while the flagged agent configuration and persistence functions are tied to product setup commands. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T17:26:48.503Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The ping posts package and runtime metadata. Agent setup writes generated guidance and hooks, and backup scheduling configures local backups. - **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. The scanner's dynamic require resolves optional Electron, and the inspected dependency install hook performs native setup. - **Network endpoints:** getamem.com ### 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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @iamem/amem@0.3.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @iamem/amem@0.3.1 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.
