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. User-invoked CLI starts a loopback bridge plus a default 0.0.0.0 RemoteHub. It exposes authenticated shell execution and remote device input/task dispatch. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T23:29:03.612Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T23:30:31.897Z - **Download time:** 2536 ms - **Static scan time:** 7065 ms - **AI review time:** 78683 ms - **Total time:** 88285 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:** User-invoked CLI starts a loopback bridge plus a default 0.0.0.0 RemoteHub. It exposes authenticated shell execution and remote device input/task dispatch. - **Trigger:** Running the mindexec CLI/runtime. - **Impact:** A party able to access required credentials or a connected agent can execute commands locally or control/task connected devices. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, launch-bridge.cjs, server.js, remote-hub.js, codex-runtime.js, electron/main.cjs, electron/update-manager.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T23:30:31.897Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Networked local shell bridge and remote-agent control hub. - **Rationale:** Source shows a deliberate remote-management product, not a covert malicious installation chain. Its default externally reachable control service plus shell and AI-agent dispatch capability merits a warning. - **Files touched:** server.js, remote-hub.js - **Network endpoints:** tcp://0.0.0.0:5198, http://127.0.0.1:5147 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** RemoteHub defaults to an externally reachable 0.0.0.0 listener and starts by default., Protected local APIs dispatch shell commands through the system shell., Runtime APIs can forward remote input control and AI/task instructions to connected devices. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The primary bridge HTTP server binds to 127.0.0.1 and protects shell/remote routes with a bridge token., No covert exfiltration, staged payload, or install-time mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindexec/cli@0.2.482. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindexec/cli@0.2.482 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.
