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. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook. Inspected source explains the eval and update signals as WebAssembly support and integrity-checked self-updating; the hook request remains insufficiently traced to establish an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T22:08:57.677Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T22:10:18.534Z - **Download time:** 1546 ms - **Static scan time:** 22365 ms - **AI review time:** 56946 ms - **Total time:** 80857 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 concrete attack was identified in the inspected source. The flagged evaluation is part of WebAssembly support, and the updater verifies release metadata and signatures before installation. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI invokes its bootstrap; update checks and hook requests occur through runtime operations. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack impact was established from the inspected behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T22:10:18.534Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected update path obtains Mnemonik CLI release metadata from the npm registry and checks identity and integrity against a signed manifest. A hook helper can POST JSON to a supplied server, but its callers and effective destination controls were not resolved. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook. Inspected source explains the eval and update signals as WebAssembly support and integrity-checked self-updating; the hook request remains insufficiently traced to establish an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/runtime/selfUpdate.js, dist/runtime/signers.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/%40mnemonik%2Fcli/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares no lifecycle scripts and exposes the CLI through dist/bin.js., The flagged eval calls compile JavaScript embedded in WebAssembly module exports; the inspected context does not show remote response text reaching eval., The self-update path uses the Mnemonik npm registry and checks release identity, integrity, and a signed manifest before installing an update. - **Evidence against:** The CLI contains a hook helper that sends JSON with a bearer token to a supplied server; the inspected excerpt does not establish its callers, destination selection, or consent boundary. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.152.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.152.0 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.
