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 installations on the first keyless Brain consult, sending a random identifier to its Brain service and persisting the returned token. This is not credential theft, but the undisclosed runtime identifier exchange warrants a telemetry warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T05:29:13.064Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T05:30:22.465Z - **Download time:** 1540 ms - **Static scan time:** 19158 ms - **AI review time:** 48702 ms - **Total time:** 69401 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 the installation with the Brain service. - **Trigger:** A Brain tool is consulted while no Brain key is available; registration can be disabled with MINDRIAN\_DISABLE\_AUTO\_REGISTER. - **Impact:** The service can distinguish this installation across its Brain requests; the runtime registration is not described in the reviewed package manifest or README search. - **Evidence paths:** lib/core/brain-client.cjs, bin/mindrian-brain-mcp-client.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T05:30:22.465Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client sends a random UUID to the service's /register endpoint, receives a token, and writes it to ~/.mindrian-install.json. - **Rationale:** The package silently registers installations on the first keyless Brain consult, sending a random identifier to its Brain service and persisting the returned token. This is not credential theft, but the undisclosed runtime identifier exchange warrants a telemetry warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.mindrian-install.json - **Network endpoints:** https://theo-mcp.onrender.com/register ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The Brain client describes a one-shot registration as silent and disables it only when MINDRIAN\_DISABLE\_AUTO\_REGISTER is set., The registration attempt is reached when a Brain consult has no key, including through the MCP client's availability gate., Registration sends a randomly generated install ID to /register and saves the returned token in ~/.mindrian-install.json., The default Brain endpoint is theo-mcp.onrender.com; MINDRIAN\_BRAIN\_URL can override it. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are ordinary named commands., The registration is tied to a Brain consult, and the ID is randomly generated rather than derived from host, user, project, or credential data., The package's stated purpose includes a Brain API integration, and the endpoint is its configured Brain service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.51. - Review the evidence and your use of @mindrian\_os/cli@2.0.0-beta.51 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.
