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. The token deletion is an unrequested side effect of generated container setup, and the script does not check whether the credential is actually stale. The surrounding setup is consistent with the CLI's project-scaffolding purpose, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T19:35:17.412Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T19:36:26.277Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 4615 ms - **AI review time:** 63479 ms - **Total time:** 68865 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:** Generated project setup can remove an npm registry auth token from the container's npm configuration. - **Trigger:** After a user runs \`mx-agent new project\`, the generated devcontainer runs its post-create script automatically. - **Impact:** A valid token may be removed, disrupting authenticated npm operations in the container. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/templates.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T19:36:26.277Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script unconditionally invokes \`npm config delete\` for the npm registry auth token; it does not verify that the token is stale. - **Rationale:** The token deletion is an unrequested side effect of generated container setup, and the script does not check whether the credential is actually stale. The surrounding setup is consistent with the CLI's project-scaffolding purpose, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** npm user configuration (via \`npm config delete\`) - **Network endpoints:** deb.nodesource.com, claude.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The generated post-create script runs \`npm config delete //registry.npmjs.org/:\_authToken\` without checking whether the token is stale., The generated devcontainer invokes that script automatically during container creation., The script is generated as part of the explicit \`mx-agent new project\` setup flow. - **Evidence against:** The token removal is described as clearing stale npm auth that can block public package installs., Other setup actions install Node.js and Claude Code from their official hosts, consistent with the generated devcontainer's purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.301. - Review the evidence and your use of @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.301 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.
