⚠ Under reviewMnemonik installer and local project helper
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed attack behavior. The update and hook request trust boundaries remain unresolved, so this package needs manual review.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Invoking the CLI activates bootstrap; a specially flagged helper invocation can start the automatic update path.
Impact
The available evidence does not establish credential disclosure, unauthorized code execution, or another concrete attack.
Mechanism
The package includes runtime update behavior and a hook helper that sends a token and body to a server value; the inspected source does not resolve their full trust boundaries.
AI rationale
Static inspection found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed attack behavior. The update and hook request trust boundaries remain unresolved, so this package needs manual review.
Evidence
dist/runtime/selfUpdate.jsdist/install/journey.jsdist/runtime/signers.jspackage.jsondist/bin.jsdist/runtime/bootstrap.jsdist/index.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 52.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package exposes a CLI that calls its bootstrap when invoked; package.json declares no lifecycle scripts.
- The bootstrap may launch a verified runtime, while the installer contains a guarded automatic-update helper.
- The remaining review concern is unresolved: the inspected excerpts do not establish the full update and hook request trust boundaries.
Evidence against
- The flagged eval builds functions from embedded WebAssembly module strings; the nearby fetch uses same-origin credentials.
- The hook request posts a supplied token and body to a server value, but the inspected excerpt does not establish how that server is selected or what the body contains.
