Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 7.160.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The helper’s unrestricted-looking parameters and bearer transmission leave a conditional credential exposure unresolved, but no caller or unrelated destination was verified. Warn without blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 66.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-27T22:46:40.251Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-27T22:48:51.471Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 23800 ms - **AI review time:** 106919 ms - **Total time:** 131220 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:** A hook helper can send a bearer token to the server supplied by its caller. The inspected source leaves the token origin and recipient binding unresolved, so it does not establish a confirmed attack. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the exported hook request helper. - **Impact:** If a caller supplies a saved service credential and an unrelated server, that credential could be exposed; this source does not establish that such a call occurs. - **Evidence paths:** dist/runtime/signers.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T22:48:51.471Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The helper posts JSON to the supplied server and places the supplied token in the authorization header. - **Rationale:** The helper’s unrestricted-looking parameters and bearer transmission leave a conditional credential exposure unresolved, but no caller or unrelated destination was verified. Warn without blocking. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 66.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The exported hook request helper accepts a server and token, then sends the token as a bearer credential., The inspected code does not establish where the helper’s token comes from or whether its recipient is restricted to the intended service., The manifest defines no install lifecycle scripts. - **Evidence against:** The helper’s caller and configuration were not established, so the inspected source does not prove that saved credentials reach an unrelated endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mnemonik/cli@7.160.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mnemonik/cli@7.160.0 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.
