AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe new runtime path silently registers an install with the package's Brain service when a user first consults Brain without a key. It sends only a random ID, but the undisclosed persistent registration warrants a warning under the runtime telemetry policy.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Runtime, when a user invokes a Brain feature and no existing Brain key is found.
Impact
The service learns a persistent anonymous install identifier and issues a token without an explicit registration step. No account credentials or project data were identified in this registration flow.
Mechanism
The client sends a random install ID to the Brain service's /register endpoint and stores the returned token at ~/.mindrian-install.json. MINDRIAN_DISABLE_AUTO_REGISTER disables the attempt.
AI rationale
The new runtime path silently registers an install with the package's Brain service when a user first consults Brain without a key. It sends only a random ID, but the undisclosed persistent registration warrants a warning under the runtime telemetry policy.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When no Brain key is available, the first Brain tool call attempts automatic registration; MINDRIAN_DISABLE_AUTO_REGISTER can disable it.
- Registration POSTs a newly generated UUID to the configured Brain service's /register endpoint.
- The returned token and UUID are saved in ~/.mindrian-install.json with mode 0600.
- The default Brain endpoint is https://theo-mcp.onrender.com.
Evidence against
- The registration body contains only a randomly generated install ID, not a discovered Anthropic or OpenAI credential.
- The installer describes Brain as optional and offers manual configuration.
- The package manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts.
