@iamem/amem@0.5.0
Local personal agent memory for Cursor and Claude Code. Private to your machine — never shared.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook sends default telemetry, which policy classifies as suspicious even though the payload is limited and the opt-out is disclosed. The inspected persistence and agent configuration behavior is tied to explicit CLI setup commands.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install, unless telemetry is disabled, CI is set, or NODE_ENV is test.
Impact
The publisher receives install counts and basic runtime metadata; the request is disclosed and opt-out is available.
Mechanism
scripts/postinstall.js posts package and runtime metadata to getamem.com.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook sends default telemetry, which policy classifies as suspicious even though the payload is limited and the opt-out is disclosed. The inspected persistence and agent configuration behavior is tied to explicit CLI setup commands.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 97.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall lifecycle script runs scripts/postinstall.js during installation.
- The hook sends an npm_install event containing the package name and version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp.
- The event is sent by POST to getamem.com/api/beacon/npm-install.
- Documentation identifies the request as an anonymous install ping and documents AMEM_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 as an opt-out.
Evidence against
- The inspected telemetry payload contains no credentials, usernames, hostnames, paths, environment variables, or project contents.
- Backup scheduling and Cursor setup are exposed as explicit CLI setup operations rather than run by the install hook.
