Mnemonik installer and local project helper
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected update path validates package integrity against a signed release manifest. Scanner flags for evaluation and process execution correspond to embedded runtime glue and project setup; the reviewed source establishes no concrete attack surface.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the CLI or explicitly invoking its project setup or update behavior.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized credential transfer, persistence, destructive action or remote code execution was established.
Mechanism
The CLI retrieves release metadata and installs integrity-checked artifacts; its project setup helper runs with a restricted environment.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected update path validates package integrity against a signed release manifest. Scanner flags for evaluation and process execution correspond to embedded runtime glue and project setup; the reviewed source establishes no concrete attack surface.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no lifecycle scripts or runtime dependencies; the CLI starts through its declared bin entrypoint.
- The self-update code checks npm package identity, version and integrity against a signed release manifest before installing a release.
- The flagged eval calls construct functions from embedded Emscripten glue; the inspected source does not show remote response text reaching those calls.
- The flagged process launch is a detached helper for an explicit project setup operation; its environment is allowlisted.
- Inspected installer code defaults its API origin to api.mnemonik.dev; no credential export to an unrelated recipient was established.
- Required runtime and installer paths were inspected; no concrete attack behavior was established.
Evidence against
- Static indicators include dynamic evaluation, process launching, network requests and environment access, but the inspected contexts align with embedded runtime glue, project setup and release retrieval.
