Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 7.141.2 - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Clean: package.json has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged eval sites are generated Emscripten glue rather than remote-response execution. Updates verify signed manifests, while agent setup requires explicit consent flags. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T11:18:06.446Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T11:20:56.318Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 23286 ms - **AI review time:** 145565 ms - **Total time:** 169872 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 malicious attack surface was identified. The flagged eval sites are bundled Emscripten glue, and the package has no npm install hook. - **Trigger:** The CLI bootstrap runs when a user invokes the command; agent setup is an explicit CLI operation. - **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, remote code execution, or credential transfer was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T11:20:56.318Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bootstrap rejects dependencies with lifecycle scripts, and the updater verifies signed release manifests. Agent setup checks for consent flags before proceeding. - **Rationale:** Clean: package.json has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged eval sites are generated Emscripten glue rather than remote-response execution. Updates verify signed manifests, while agent setup requires explicit consent flags. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts or runtime dependencies., The CLI runs its bootstrap when invoked; bootstrap rejects dependencies with preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts., Release updates verify a minisign signature and check package versions before accepting the manifest., The flagged eval sites are Emscripten glue that builds asm callbacks from module data, not code read from a remote response., The agent-target offsets describe scanner ignore-pattern comments, not agent settings writes., Agent setup requires explicit host, apply, and indexing consent flags when applicable. - **Evidence against:** Static hints flag eval, network, and child-process use, but inspection tied the eval matches to bundled Emscripten glue and found no install hook., The signer helper takes its server and token as explicit parameters; no package caller exporting command output or saved credentials was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.141.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.141.2 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.
