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 beacon sends package and runtime metadata to the package’s own service, with an opt-out and CI/test skips; it does not collect host, user, or project identifiers in the inspected request body. The flagged agent setup and persistence behavior is user-invoked product functionality, while the dependency install script is native build setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T15:43:07.718Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T15:44:03.631Z - **Download time:** 3069 ms - **Static scan time:** 848 ms - **AI review time:** 51995 ms - **Total time:** 55913 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 attack was identified. The install hook sends limited package and runtime metadata to the package’s own service; the inspected runtime features perform local search, agent setup, and backup tasks. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the telemetry request; agent setup and backup scheduling require CLI commands. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior does not establish credential theft, unconsented agent control changes, or other concrete attack behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T15:44:03.631Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The telemetry request contains package/version and runtime platform details. The Cursor and backup features write local configuration or schedules when invoked. - **Rationale:** The install beacon sends package and runtime metadata to the package’s own service, with an opt-out and CI/test skips; it does not collect host, user, or project identifiers in the inspected request body. The flagged agent setup and persistence behavior is user-invoked product functionality, while the dependency install script is native build setup. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/install/cursor.js, dist/rules-sync.js, dist/search.js, dist/backup-schedule.js - **Network endpoints:** https://getamem.com/api/beacon/npm-install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package postinstall runs a telemetry script that sends package version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp to the package’s own service., Cursor setup writes local rules and hooks when the CLI install path is invoked; rule synchronization is a CLI operation using pinned claims., The database dependency’s install script performs native build setup, and its entrypoint loads the database module., Search code tokenizes queries and maintains a local full-text index; backup scheduling is an explicit CLI command for local backups. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @iamem/amem@0.3.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @iamem/amem@0.3.5 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.
