## 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:** 0.3.3
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The postinstall event is package-aligned telemetry and the inspected payload contains package and runtime metadata rather than local memory or user/project identifiers. The persistence and agent configuration writes are reached through explicit CLI setup or scheduling commands, and the native dependency uses an ordinary build installer.

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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The automatic install event contains package and runtime metadata, while the inspected persistence and agent configuration operations are invoked through explicit CLI commands.

- **Trigger:** Package installation sends the install event unless telemetry is disabled or CI/test is detected; backup scheduling and agent setup require CLI commands.

- **Impact:** The inspected telemetry does not collect local memory or host, user, home, or project identifiers; the other reviewed operations perform their stated local setup tasks.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T03:28:54.046Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The install hook posts package version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp to getamem.com. Other inspected writes configure Cursor hooks or rules, or create a local backup schedule.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall event is package-aligned telemetry and the inspected payload contains package and runtime metadata rather than local memory or user/project identifiers. The persistence and agent configuration writes are reached through explicit CLI setup or scheduling commands, and the native dependency uses an ordinary build installer.

- **Network endpoints:** getamem.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies a local agent memory package and runs scripts/postinstall.js after installation., The install hook sends the package name and version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp to getamem.com; it exits when telemetry is disabled or CI/test is detected., Cursor configuration writes are part of the explicit CLI setup path., Pinned Cursor rules are written by the explicit \`amem rules sync\` command., The native dependency install script uses prebuild-install or node-gyp; its entrypoint re-exports its database module., Backup scheduling is exposed through the CLI backup schedule command.

- **Evidence against:** The install hook automatically sends an install event unless telemetry is disabled or CI/test is detected.
