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 exposure risk, not evidence of covert theft or malicious intent. The user-invoked trigger and configurable destination warrant a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T02:03:43.657Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T02:06:03.668Z - **Download time:** 5681 ms - **Static scan time:** 22413 ms - **AI review time:** 111917 ms - **Total time:** 140011 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:** No confirmed malicious attack was identified. Hook setup can expose an existing CLI bearer token if the API origin is configured to an unrelated host. - **Trigger:** A user invokes hook setup when no reusable hook credential is stored. - **Impact:** If that origin points to an unrelated host, the host receives the bearer token. - **Evidence paths:** dist/install/hosts.js, dist/auth/status.js, dist/auth/installSession.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T02:06:03.668Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends its bearer token to the configured API origin without restricting the destination host. - **Rationale:** This is a conditional credential exposure risk, not evidence of covert theft or malicious intent. The user-invoked trigger and configurable destination warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** dist/install/hosts.js, dist/auth/status.js, dist/auth/installSession.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.mnemonik.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts, so the credential transfer is not triggered by package installation., During hook setup, the CLI obtains its existing bearer token and sends it in a request for component credentials., The request destination uses a configurable API origin with no host restriction; the default is the Mnemonik API., Other authenticated API requests also use that configured origin, consistent with a configurable API client. - **Evidence against:** The transfer is conditional on user-invoked hook setup and an absent stored hook credential., The source does not establish that the default Mnemonik API is unrelated or that the token is sent there covertly. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.139.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.139.9 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.
