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. This is a conditional credential-forwarding risk: an existing service bearer can be sent to an unrestricted configured origin. The default is package-aligned and the transfer is in the user-invoked installation flow, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T17:27:36.446Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T17:30:55.115Z - **Download time:** 2287 ms - **Static scan time:** 22874 ms - **AI review time:** 173508 ms - **Total time:** 198669 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:** The installation flow sends a saved CLI bearer to the configured API origin. If MNEMONIK\_API\_RESOURCE points outside the intended service, that endpoint can receive the bearer. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI installation flow while a CLI bearer is available and MNEMONIK\_API\_RESOURCE selects a different origin. - **Impact:** The configured recipient may receive an existing service credential. The inspected source does not establish disclosure to an unrelated host when the default origin is used. - **Evidence paths:** dist/install/journey.js, dist/auth/index.js, dist/router.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T17:30:55.115Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The flow attaches the bearer to install-session requests built with apiOrigin(); the source shows no recipient host allowlist. - **Rationale:** This is a conditional credential-forwarding risk: an existing service bearer can be sent to an unrestricted configured origin. The default is package-aligned and the transfer is in the user-invoked installation flow, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** dist/install/journey.js, dist/auth/index.js, dist/router.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.mnemonik.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts and launches the CLI through dist/bin.js., After installation, journey.js retrieves a managed CLI bearer and sends it in install-session requests to apiOrigin()., apiOrigin() accepts the MNEMONIK\_API\_RESOURCE origin without a host allowlist; authentication also uses that environment override, defaulting to api.mnemonik.dev., The router obtains the bearer from saved CLI credentials and passes it to the installation flow., The installation flow has explicit host and component choices and prompts interactively to “Install and upload.”, The eight indicated .claude locations are scanner ignore-pattern comments, not agent configuration writes. - **Evidence against:** The bearer transfer occurs in the CLI installation flow, not an npm lifecycle hook; the default API origin is api.mnemonik.dev., The source shows no separate evidence of a transfer to an unrelated recipient when the default origin is used. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.139.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.139.4 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.
