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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T01:34:54.019Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T01:36:23.613Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 7696 ms - **AI review time:** 80625 ms - **Total time:** 89594 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:** Running the CLI starts an externally reachable RemoteHub on TCP port 5198 by default. It accepts paired remote agents and can issue them task instructions; the local bridge also runs user-supplied shell commands behind its bridge token. - **Trigger:** A user runs the mindexec CLI or starts the bridge server. - **Impact:** A weak or exposed pairing token could permit an untrusted remote agent to join the hub; connected agents can receive arbitrary task instructions. - **Evidence paths:** remote-hub.js, server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T01:36:23.613Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Default network-exposed remote-agent hub with task dispatch and local command execution. - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its default externally reachable remote-agent service and limited pairing token create an unresolved dangerous capability. No lifecycle hook or concrete exfiltration behavior was found. - **Files touched:** remote-hub.js, server.js - **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0:5198, 127.0.0.1:5147 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked bridge starts a RemoteHub that is enabled by default and listens on all network interfaces., RemoteHub uses a randomly generated 12-hex-character pairing token, leaving an externally reachable remote-agent control service with limited authentication strength., The bridge can send supplied instructions as agent tasks to connected devices and provides a token-protected local shell-command API. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The HTTP bridge binds to 127.0.0.1 and protects shell and agent routes with a generated bridge token by default., No source evidence shows install-time execution, credential harvesting, or secret exfiltration., The scanner's dynamic require finding is an internal browser-renderer dependency loader, not Node module loading. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindexec/cli@0.2.514. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindexec/cli@0.2.514 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.
