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:** 7.143.0 - **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. Source inspection found no attack: the package has no npm lifecycle scripts, and the flagged eval calls are bundled WebAssembly glue. Updates validate signed release data, while project indexing requires user acceptance and approved roots. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T17:23:33.813Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T17:26:39.046Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 23308 ms - **AI review time:** 161160 ms - **Total time:** 185233 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 attack surface was identified in the inspected source. Network activity supports the CLI's release updates and consented indexing features. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI; indexing additionally requires accepting indexing, specifying roots, and applying setup. - **Impact:** No attack impact was identified; indexing is scoped to approved project roots and uses a scanner-specific credential. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T17:26:39.046Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No malicious mechanism was established. The flagged eval calls are in bundled WebAssembly glue, and updates validate signed release metadata and integrity. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no attack: the package has no npm lifecycle scripts, and the flagged eval calls are bundled WebAssembly glue. Updates validate signed release data, while project indexing requires user acceptance and approved roots. - **Network endpoints:** api.mnemonik.dev, registry.npmjs.org, github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI and module entrypoints and has no npm lifecycle scripts., The flagged eval matches are in bundled Emscripten WebAssembly glue; the updater uses separate release-handling code., The updater checks package identity, a signed release manifest, and matching integrity before installing an update., Scanner indexing requires acceptance, selected and approved roots and exclusions, and a scanner-scoped credential for the Mnemonik API., The agent-related byte locations are scanner ignore-pattern comments; no unconsented agent-control mutation was identified. - **Evidence against:** Static findings flag dynamic evaluation, child-process use, environment access, and network calls; inspected source ties these to WebAssembly glue, installer and scanner functions, and release updates. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.143.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.143.0 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.
