## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 2.0.0-beta.45
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 package silently registers a random per-install ID on first Brain use when no key is configured, and stores the returned service token. The request goes to the package’s Brain service and is not install-triggered, but the automatic registration is not clearly disclosed, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a block-worthy attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T05:28:33.426Z

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:** First-use Brain auto-registration sends a generated install ID and stores the returned service token locally.

- **Trigger:** A Brain tool call when no Brain key is found; the registration can be disabled with MINDRIAN\_DISABLE\_AUTO\_REGISTER.

- **Impact:** Creates an undisclosed per-install identifier with the Brain service; no unrelated credentials or project data are sent in the registration request.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/core/brain-client.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T05:29:50.092Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** POSTs a random UUID to the configured Brain endpoint’s /register route, then saves the returned token in ~/.mindrian-install.json.

- **Rationale:** The package silently registers a random per-install ID on first Brain use when no key is configured, and stores the returned service token. The request goes to the package’s Brain service and is not install-triggered, but the automatic registration is not clearly disclosed, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a block-worthy attack.

- **Files touched:** ~/.mindrian-install.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/register, https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/mcp, MINDRIAN\_BRAIN\_URL (configurable Brain service origin)

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 83.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** On the first Brain request without a configured key, callTool attempts silent auto-registration., Auto-registration creates a random install ID and POSTs it to the Brain service’s /register endpoint; this behavior is not clearly disclosed in the CLI’s setup message.

- **Evidence against:** The package has no npm lifecycle scripts, so this registration is not triggered during installation., The registration sends a generated random ID to the package’s configured Brain service, not an identified third-party collector.

## Affected versions and remediation
