AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends install-time telemetry by default, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The inspected payload is limited to package and runtime details, and the backup persistence behavior is available through an explicit CLI command.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm installation, unless telemetry is disabled or CI/test is detected.
Impact
The publisher learns that the package was installed and the runtime platform details; no sensitive user or project data is sent in the inspected payload.
Mechanism
The postinstall hook makes an HTTPS POST with package name and version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp.
AI rationale
The package sends install-time telemetry by default, which warrants a warning under the review rules. The inspected payload is limited to package and runtime details, and the backup persistence behavior is available through an explicit CLI command.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation.
- The hook sends an npm_install event with package and version, Node version, platform, architecture, and timestamp to getamem.com.
- The beacon is disabled by AMEM_TELEMETRY_DISABLED, CI, or NODE_ENV=test; otherwise it runs by default.
- Backup schedule persistence is installed only through the explicit `amem backup schedule` command.
Evidence against
- The install beacon does not include credentials, hostnames, usernames, paths, or project data.
- The persistence finding relates to a separate backup feature with an explicit CLI trigger.
