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 client silently registers an installation and sends a persistent random identifier to the package’s Brain service when a Brain tool is first used without a key. The request does not expose unrelated credentials or identifying machine data, but this undisclosed runtime telemetry warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T05:27:54.059Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T05:29:09.086Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 21661 ms - **AI review time:** 52601 ms - **Total time:** 75027 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:** Undisclosed runtime registration and install-ID telemetry to the Mindrian Brain service. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a Brain tool while no Brain key is available; the first such consult attempts registration automatically. - **Impact:** The Brain service can link calls from the same installation over time. The reviewed registration payload does not include credentials or identifying machine or project data. - **Evidence paths:** lib/core/brain-client.cjs, lib/core/install-id.cjs, bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T05:29:09.086Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client POSTs a locally generated install ID to the configured Brain service, saves the returned token, and includes a persistent install-ID header in later Brain calls. - **Rationale:** The client silently registers an installation and sends a persistent random identifier to the package’s Brain service when a Brain tool is first used without a key. The request does not expose unrelated credentials or identifying machine data, but this undisclosed runtime telemetry warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.mindrian-install.json, ~/.mindrian/theo-install-id.json - **Network endpoints:** https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/register, https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/mcp, MINDRIAN\_BRAIN\_URL override ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** A Brain tool call with no configured key automatically attempts registration on the first consult., Registration sends a persistent per-install identifier to the Brain service and saves its returned token locally., The installer describes Brain connection as optional and directs users to configure it with a key; it does not disclose the silent registration behavior., The identifier is generated from random bytes, rather than derived from a credential or machine information. - **Evidence against:** The registration request sends only a random install ID; the source shows no host, username, project data, or unrelated credentials in that request., Brain tool requests target the package’s configured Brain service, and their API key is sent to that service., The package describes itself as an installer and CLI for the MindrianOS plugin, which includes Brain functionality. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.37. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.37 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.
