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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T05:27:50.810Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T05:29:22.758Z - **Download time:** 1278 ms - **Static scan time:** 24369 ms - **AI review time:** 66300 ms - **Total time:** 91948 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:** A first Brain consult without a configured key silently registers an install and persists the returned service token. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** lib/core/brain-client.cjs, bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T05:29:22.758Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.mindrian-install.json - **Network endpoints:** https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/register, https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.35 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.
