Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms explicit user-invoked Claude hook/config mutation, so it warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. No credential theft, stealth persistence, remote code loading, or unconsented install-time mutation was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-30T17:55:31.781Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-30T17:56:06.013Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 2016 ms - **AI review time:** 31702 ms - **Total time:** 34232 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:** An explicit mx-agent start provisions Claude project settings and executable hooks in the selected worktree, with a user-home hook cache. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle capability, not install-time behavior. - **Trigger:** User runs mx-agent start for a configured team. - **Impact:** Changes the launched Claude session's hook/control behavior within selected worktrees. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/commands/start.js, dist/lib/claude.js, dist/commands/pr-sync.js, dist/agent-config/hooks/deploy-verification-reminder.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-30T17:56:06.013Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Generate and reconcile Claude settings plus shell hooks - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms explicit user-invoked Claude hook/config mutation, so it warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. No credential theft, stealth persistence, remote code loading, or unconsented install-time mutation was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/\*, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, ~/.mx-agent/hooks/\* - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:3100/v1/pr-sync ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/commands/start.js invokes config and hook deployment on mx-agent start, dist/lib/claude.js overwrites .claude/settings.json and managed hooks, dist/lib/claude.js caches/reconciles hooks under ~/.mx-agent, dist/agent-config/hooks/\*.sh execute as Claude tool hooks - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook, mutation requires explicit mx-agent start, network sync is explicit/configured and defaults to localhost, child processes use argv arrays; no eval or remote payload loader found ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.243. - Review the evidence and your use of @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.243 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.
