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-time request is limited to package and runtime metadata sent to the package's own site, with opt-outs for disabled telemetry, CI, and tests. Persistence and agent configuration writes are associated with explicit CLI setup commands, and the inspected dependency install hook is ordinary native-module setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T04:21:02.972Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T04:21:55.802Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 935 ms - **AI review time:** 50621 ms - **Total time:** 52830 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 in the inspected source. Installation sends a limited package telemetry event, while agent configuration and backup persistence are tied to CLI setup actions. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall ping; Cursor setup, rules sync, and backup scheduling are invoked through CLI commands. - **Impact:** The install ping discloses package and platform metadata to getamem.com. The inspected setup actions configure the package's local integrations and backups. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T04:21:55.802Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install event contains package and runtime version information plus platform and architecture. CLI actions write local Cursor integration files, pinned rules, or a local backup schedule. - **Rationale:** The install-time request is limited to package and runtime metadata sent to the package's own site, with opt-outs for disabled telemetry, CI, and tests. Persistence and agent configuration writes are associated with explicit CLI setup commands, and the inspected dependency install hook is ordinary native-module setup. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/install/cursor.js, dist/rules-sync.js, dist/backup-schedule.js - **Network endpoints:** getamem.com/api/beacon/npm-install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **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 script sends an install event with package version, Node version, platform, and architecture to getamem.com, and skips when telemetry is disabled, in CI, or in tests., Cursor integration is invoked through the CLI platform setup path and writes a generated local rule and amem hooks., Pinned Cursor rules are written by the explicit rules sync command, which exports pinned claims to a repository rule file., Backup persistence is created by the explicit backup schedule command for local backups., The inspected better-sqlite3 install hook runs prebuild-install or node-gyp for its native module; its main entry exports the database module., dist/search.js contains ordinary keyword tokenization and query-building logic; the reported analysis limitation concerns a virtual view, not evidence of harmful behavior in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @iamem/amem@0.4.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @iamem/amem@0.4.2 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.
